Boss Sam Allardyce - who also wants to ship out some of the deadwood. - today held his pre-match press conference ahead of the Premier League clash with AFC Bournemouth at home on Saturday.

And he revealed he wants a goalkeeper, defender and striker before the transfer window closes.

The Sunderland boss said today: "We've already got two in and we are obviously pushing for two more outfield players if we can.

"Now Costel [Pantilimon] has gone, I think I need to find a third goalkeeper as well, which I don't think will be a problem."
