BAYERN MUNICH duo Leon Dajaku and Ron-Thorben Hoffman have both arrived in England ahead of completing proposed moves to Sunderland.
The pair are set to head to Sunderland's Academy of Light training ground to complete the formalities of their respective loan moves.
Both players are set to join the Black Cats on season-long loan deals.
Dajaku, a winger who can also play anywhere across the frontline, is reportedly set to join Union Berlin from Bayern in a €1m transfer, with Union then immediately loaning him to Sunderland.
Hoffman, a 22-year-old goalkeeper, will join directly from Bayern, having spent last season playing for Bayern II.
With Sunderland only able to name five loan players in a matchday squad, and with the club having completed a number of loan deals already this summer, the pair's arrival could well see the Black Cats shelving their interest in Arsenal youngster Ryan Alebiosu.
Meanwhile, Jack Diamond is set to complete a loan return to Harrogate Town ahead of tonight's 11pm deadline.
Will Grigg will also be leaving Wearside today, with Doncaster, Rotherham and Charlton all having held talks over his future.
Sheffield Wednesday have also been linked with a possible last-minute move for the Northern Irishman, who remains one of Sunderland's highest-paid players despite his lack of first-team involvement this season.
