The England under-21 star has fallen out with Royals boss Steve Coppell and this has alerted Portsmouth and Middlesbrough who are both planning £4m bids.

However, Keane has been given £20m to spend in the transfer window and would not hesitate to take 23-year-old Lita to Wearside.

The Black Cats boss is also tracking Manchester United defender Danny Simpson after the 21-year-old shone during a loan spell at the club this season.
