Premiership circles are ready to bring Fenerbahce striker Colin Kazim-Richards back to England in January.
The Sun says Kazim-Richards is on the transfer list at Fenerbahce after a sex scandal.
Sunderland, Blackburn and Hull are all on red alert after the English-born Turkey ace was one of four players put up for sale after reports they organised sex marathons at an Istanbul hotel.
The former Sheffield United winger has been a big hit since moving to Fenerbahce - and played for Turkey in Euro 2008.
But manager Christoph Daum says there is no way back for Kazim-Richards and team-mates Vederson, Fabio Bilica and Santos.
He said: "Sadly, I have to confirm that the rumours are true.
"I'm absolutely shocked to find out these kinds of things are happening."
