Steven Fletcher is in Marseille at the club's offices as the French giants close in on an agreement with Sunderland for the striker.
The hitman has already agreed in principle to join Marseille, but the Ligue 1 outfit have yet to come to an agreement with Sunderland.
According to French radio station RMC, Marseille are close to reaching an agreement for Fletcher, who is now at Marseille.
A medical for Fletcher has been set for later this afternoon and the deal is most likely to take the form of a loan.
Fletcher has fallen out of favour at the Stadium of Light and Black Cats boss Sam Allardyce is ready to offload him.
