The Black Cats have, under the stewardship of Kristjaan Speakman and Stuart Harvey, made some interesting signings with Hemir, Jenson Seelt, Nectar Triantis and Jobe Bellingham amongst others arriving on Wearside.
However, there were also outgoings last summer as Sunderland’s transfer chiefs look to tweak Tony Mowbtay’s first team and Graeme Murty’s under-21s following a successful campaign last season.
Here, we take a look at the players who have left Sunderland this summer and where they are now:
