League One transfer rumours: Sunderland linked with reunion for AS Monaco man, Premier League clubs showing interest in Sheffield Wednesday star

Sunderland are closing in on the signing of Leeds United’s Niall Huggins.

The deal for the versatile defender is thought to be a permanent one, with the 20-year-old coming in to bolster the Black Cats’ defensive ranks.

Huggins is another player with little senior experience, however he made his Premier League debut in February and had a superb campaign as part of the Whites’ side who won promotion from Premier League 2 Division 2.

Marcelo Bielsa made the full-back available for a move away this summer - much to many fans’ disappointment - and Sunderland look set to beat Championship sides Blackpool and Blackburn Rovers to his signature.
