Former Utrecht goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter will fly into the North-East on Wednesday to undergo a medical with Sunderland, according to reports.

Sunderland have edged closer to signing Dutch goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter, according to reports.

The 30-year-old is a free agent after leaving Utrecht at the end of last season and has been on trial with the Black Cats.

According to Sky Sports News, Ruiter will fly back into the North-East on Wednesday to undergo a medical prior to penning a two-year deal.

The report also suggests that the deal is expected to be completed in time for Friday night's Championship season opener against Derby County.

Ruiter reportedly attracted interest from other British clubs this summer, including Burnley.
