From Nottingham Forest to China and Brighton - where are Sunderland’s 2017/18 summer transfers now?

Sunderland are preparing for life back in the Championship.

Alex Neil will be guiding Sunderland through their first season in the Championship since their disastrous 2017/18 campaign that ended in relegation.

That year, under first Simon Grayson and then Chris Coleman, the Black Cats finished rock-bottom of the division, managing just 37 points from their 46 league games.

Hopes are high that this time will see a little more success at the Stadium of Light, but in order to do that, they will have to recruit better than they did five years ago.

That summer saw ten players join the club to varied success - but where are these players now?

How have their careers progressed since joining Sunderland back in 2017?

Here, we take a look at what has happened to Sunderland’s ten 2017/18 summer recruits.
