Ex-Sunderland star tipped for Newcastle move, Leeds United starlet eyed by Wigan

It could be a busy summer for clubs across League One.

A nervous few days lies in wait for Alex Neil and his Sunderland squad as they prepare for their final day visit to Morecambe.

Following Tuesday night’s 1-1 draw with title-chasing Rotherham United, the Black Cats currently occupy fifth place in League One and know a win on the Lancashire coast would secure a play-off spot.

Wycombe Wanderers head into their own final day showdown with Burton Albion sat just outside of the top six and they will hope they can force their way into the play-offs by taking advantage of any slip-ups by the Black Cats, Plymouth Argyle or Sheffield Wednesday.

Despite the primary focus being on keeping alive their promotion hopes, Sunderland will have one eye on what could be another busy summer at the Stadium of Light.

They are far from alone in that aspect with several clubs across the third tier making preparations to enhance their squads throughout the close-season.
