EVERY player Sunderland were 'linked' with during summer - could deals be revisited in January?

It was busy summer for Sunderland with the Black Cats linked with a host of different players.

Kristjaan Speakman ended up concluding deals for the likes of Dennis Cirkin, Niall Huggins, Alex Pritchard, Callum Doyle, Leon Dajaku, Thorben Hoffman, Nathan Broadhead and Corry Evans alongside some under-23 signings.
