Sunderland are set to see Robbin Ruiter sign up at the Stadium of Light this summer.

According to the Shields Gazette, Robbin Ruiter is set to sign two-year deal at Sunderland, after impressing on a trial spell.

Ruiter has been with Sunderland over pre-season, with his performance in friendly matches impressing.

The stopper is now set to pen a permanent deal at the Stadium of Light, despite outside interest.

Burnley were said to have been keen to sign Ruiter, but he turned down their advances to move to Wearside.

Ruiter is set to be in competition with Jason Steele after signing for the Black Cats.

Ruiter’s arrival at Sunderland could now allow Max Stryjek to depart the Stadium of Light.

Stryjek has also been given chances in Sunderland’s first-team over pre-season, and the youngster has looked comfortable.

However, Grayson is keen to allow Stryjek to get regular competitive action under his belt this term, and a temporary move looks most likely.

Oldham Athletic are said to be keen to sign Stryjek and make him their number one goalkeeper for the upcoming League One campaign.
