SUNDERLAND boss Chris Coleman is ready for a double loan-swoop for Liverpool's Ben Woodburn and Danny Ward, according to reports.
The crisis-club appointed the Welshman as their new manager yesterday and he is desperate to sort out their goalkeeping situation.
According to the Sunderland Echo, Liverpool would be reluctant to sell Ward who remains third choice behind Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius.
But a short-term deal in January could be on the cards for Ward, who was brought into the Wales set-up by Coleman.
Sunderland have Jason Steele and Robbin Ruiter but they struggled under former boss Simon Grayson.
And Coleman reportedly wants an extra stopper after Jordan Pickford and Vito Mannone left in the summer.
Coleman is also hopeful he can snap up youngster Woodburn on a loan deal too.
The 18-year-old exploded onto the scene for Wales in their World Cup qualifier against Austria.

Jurgen Klopp has made to sure to protect Woodburn and his development and would take some convincing to let him go and play regular football.
But Coleman hopes his relationship with Woodburn will help him nab the midfielder in January.
