Lens in talks over Sunderland move – Goal.com

Dynamo Kyiv winger Jeremain Lens has confirmed that he is in talks with Sunderland over a potential move to the Premier League.
Lens has spent the past two seasons with Dynamo after sealing a move from PSV Eindhoven, with the Dutchman helping the club to a league and cup double in 2014-15.
Goal reported in June that Sunderland had opened negotiations over signing the 27-year-old, and Lens has now confirmed that talks are ongoing, though he has rebuffed suggestions that he has undergone a medical.
“I’m not having a medical examination, but I am in talks with Sunderland,” he told foxsports.nl.
“I have never made a secret of the fact that I like the Premier League. Despite Dynamo playing in the Champions League, now it seems like a great opportunity to make the switch.
“We have previously worked well together at AZ and PSV. We know each other – that’s ideal.
“It’s not all there yet, but it should be clear that I am really keen on a transfer.”
