Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has hinted Danny Higginbotham
could be on his way to Sunderland.
The Black Cats made an enquiry for the former Manchester United
defender earlier this summer, only to see their approach
rebuffed.
However, speculation regarding Higginbotham's future increased
after he withdrew from Stoke's squad to face Southampton due to
injury.
The defender has told Stoke he was unavailable to play against
Saints, although Pulis believes a move to Roy Keane's squad could
be on the cards.
"I think that looks as though it's going to happen, or could
happen," Pulis said.
"Danny says he's got an injury and we've got to believe that
Danny's got an injury.
"He says he's injured so what can we do."
