Sunderland transfer news: Former Black Cats striker close to Reading move, former Swansea keeper on trial with Portsmouth
Alex Neil’s side are being kept busy in the transfer window ahead of the new EFL season.
The 2022/23 EFL Championship season gets underway later this month as clubs across England continue to make moves to strengthen their squads.
A former Sunderland striker looks set to complete a move to Reading and Sheffield United have ‘made contact’ with a Tottenham Hotspur winger but could face competition from the Black Cats where the 21-year old spent the second half of last season on loan.
Meanwhile, QPR want to sign a Millwall full-back and it could be one in and one out for the Lions who are closing in on a loan move for a Leeds United defender.
Nottingham Forest are preparing a £10m bid for a Huddersfield Town midfielder having already closed in on another Terriers’ ace and a former Forest defender has been seen on trial with Luton Town.
Elsewhere, Burnley are holding out for over £10m as Premier League sides West Ham and Crystal Palace target one of their star players while the Clarets are also plotting a move for a Derby County midfielder.
Finally, a former Swansea City goalkeeper has featured on loan for League One side Portsmouth in a recent pre-seasons friendly.
