RECAP: Sunderland AFC transfer news (30 June)

Two defenders linked with Stadium of Light moves
Sunderland have been linked with a double defender swoop ahead of the new season.
Firstly, Football Insider claim that the Black Cats have agreed terms with Tyrese Dyce after his exit from West Brom - with the left-back having impressed on trial last season.
And then reports from Ireland claim that Derry City captain Eoin Toal is also being monitored by Sunderland, as well as Scottish side Hearts.
Defender speaks out on Sunderland interest
Clark Robertson has revealed the truth behind transfer links with Sunderland – after signing for League One rivals Portsmouth.
The Scottish defender was linked with a move to Wearside this summer following his release from Rotherham United, but eventually put pen to paper on a deal at Fratton Park.
Sunderland weren’t the only side credited with an interest in Robertson either, with Aberdeen and Hapoel Jerusalem also thought to be keen on a move.
So what was the truth behind the situation?
