This development follows Liverpool's decision to approve the 19-year-old striker's departure, signaling a significant opportunity for Danns to gain valuable first-team experience in the Championship.
During Liverpool's Champions League encounter with PSV Eindhoven, Danns etched his name into the club's history books by becoming the youngest player to start such a match for Liverpool at just 19 years and 13 days old.
Despite the Reds' 3-2 defeat, Danns' performance was a silver lining in an otherwise disappointing night.
James Pearce, a noted expert on Liverpool for The Athletic, confirmed that the club's management has greenlit Danns' loan move. "Danns has attracted plenty of interest," Pearce said, "but it's Sunderland who are expected to land him."
Sunderland, currently positioned fourth in the Championship, are in a tight race for promotion, trailing Sheffield United by six points and Leeds United by eight.
The decision by Liverpool manager Arne Slot to allow Danns to leave stems from the club's robust attacking options and a surprisingly healthy squad.
Slot explained, "With our current depth in attack and the absence of significant injuries, it's an ideal time for Jayden to gain experience elsewhere."
Liverpool's frontline is currently at full strength, with Mohamed Salah, Federico Chiesa, Luis Diaz, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, and Darwin Nunez all fit and available, not to mention Harvey Elliott, who can also operate in the front line.
Posts on X have echoed this news, with updates suggesting that the deal is advancing rapidly, giving Sunderland fans hope that Danns could soon be donning the red and white stripes.
This move could prove pivotal for Sunderland's promotion aspirations, as Danns' energy and potential are expected to bolster their attack in crucial upcoming matches.
Meanwhile, Liverpool fans will be keen to see how this loan spell shapes the development of their young star, hoping he returns with enhanced skills and readiness for Premier League action.
