Sunderland are making a new move for Inter Milan midfielder Alfred Duncan.
The Daily Star Sunday says they failed last month in a move for the £7million-rated Ghanaian.
Duncan, 20, is keen to make a second loan move to Livorno, who he helped win promotion to Serie A last season.
But Black Cats boss Paolo Di Canio is hoping director of football Roberto De Fanti and chief scout Valentino Angeloni, who both worked with Inter, can thrash out a deal.
