Reason to celebrate: Dorin Goian is a Sunderland target

Roy Keane has made a £3.5 million offer for Steaua Bucharest's 28-year-old central defender but the Romanian club are holding out for an increased bid closer to £4m.

Champions League regulars Dinamo Kiev are monitoring the transfer and are prepared to offer the experienced defender European football, if they too can match Steaua's valuation.

Meanwhile Ian Harte, who was released by Keane at the end of last season, has been offered a lifeline by Mick McCarthy at Wolves.

Harte was a regular for the Republic of Ireland under McCarthy but failed to win a regular place at Sunderland after his return from Levante on a free transfer.

The former Leeds left-back wrote to McCarthy to request a trial and will join Wolves on their pre-season tour of Scotland.
