Sunderland AFC transfer news RECAP: Cats close in on Arsenal defender plus Will Grigg and Daniel Jebbison updates

The Black Cats moved to the top of League One after beating Wycombe 3-1 on Saturday, courtesy of a Ross Stewart brace and Elliot Embleton strike.

Sunderland have signed seven new players this summer, and assistant head coach Jamie McAllister says there could be more to come.

"We've been patient and waited for the right quality to come along," said McAllister after Saturday’s match.

“If we can add one or two more before the window closes then that would be great, but they have to be the right players and the right fit for the club."

With Tuesday’s deadline edging closer the Black Cats’ main priorities are to look at signing another full-back or striker.
