Sunderland will let Marton Fulop leave
Marton Fulop will be allowed to leave Sunderland this summer after accepting he has lost his long battle to establish himself as the club's number one.
In an interview given in his home country this week, the Hungarian international says he will look to find himself another club at the end of the season where he can go in an as automatic first-choice keeper.
And boss Steve Bruce says he will not stand in the way of a keeper who he has decided is firmly behind Craig Gordon in the pecking order.
"Marton has made it abundantly clear in numerous interviews that if he's not going to be first choice at Sunderland he'd have to consider his position," Bruce told the Echo.
"I accept that.
"But I have made my decision and my decision is clear – that Craig Gordon is the number one keeper at this club."
For the past three seasons Gordon and Fulop (right) have been on a level pegging, with first Roy Keane, then Ricky Sbragia, insisting that the two keepers battle it out for the number one spot.
