Birmingham City boss Chris Hughton is looking to make Sunderland left back George McCartney his latest signing since taking over at St Andrews last month.
McCartney is surplus to requirements at The Stadium Of Light and manager Steve Bruce is looking to offload a number of players after bringing in no less than nine players this transfer window.
The Northern Ireland defender was re-signed by Roy Keane in 2008 after spending three seasons at West Ham United but has seen his second spell on Wearside less successful, mainly due to injury.
McCartney spent the majority of last season on loan at Leeds United and Hughton sees him as an ideal signing for his recently relegated blues.
Phil Bardsley and Kieran Richardson have both successfully played at left back for the Black Cats last season and have pushed McCartney down the pecking order.
Matt Kilgallon and Nyron Nosworthy, who also spent last season out on loan, along with Argentina right back Marcos Angeleri, are also transfer listed by Bruce in order to cut the wage bill.
