TOTTENHAM defender Alan Hutton is at Sunderland's training ground and Harry Redknapp has confirmed a loan deal is imminent.

Hutton, a right-back, has been in discussions with the Black Cats over the weekend and Redknapp has admitted he will be moving to Wearside.

"Alan Hutton looks like he will be joining Sunderland on loan," said the Spurs boss this morning.

Hutton's arrival, albeit initially on loan, brings an end to Steve Bruce's search for a right-back having been priced out of moves for Guy Demel and Habib Beye.
