Those names include Lawrence Shankland, John Marquis and Freddie Ladapo, however, the Black Cats could be set to miss out on the latter.

Fresh reports from Plymouth Live, who first reported Sunderland's interest in the 26-year-old, say Rotherham have agreed a £500,000 fee and will now look to negotiate personal terms.
