According to The Daily Mail, League One outfit Sunderland have accepted a bid of £400,000 from Hull in the Championship for Honeyman.

It has been reported that the 24-year-old midfielder is set for a medical with the Tigers and will complete a move before the summer transfer window slams shut next week.

The Chronicle has quoted Sunderland manager Jack Ross as saying that he is surprised that Honeyman is leaving the Black Cats.
