Sunderland AFC transfer news RECAP: Lee Johnson press conference plus Aiden McGeady rumour quashed

First, Lee Johnson’s side must negotiate Wednesday’s first leg against the Imps at the LNER Stadium, where the Black Cats won 4-0 earlier in the campaign.

Around 10,000 supporters will then attend the second leg at the Stadium of Light on Saturday, as the Wearsiders look to secure their place in the Wembley final on May 29.

Sunderland will also have to make several contract decisions over the next few weeks, with the majority of their squad set to become free agents.

With the summer transfer window set to reopen next month, talk of possible in and outgoings is starting to increase.

Johnson held his pre-match press conference earlier today ahead of the first game with Lincoln.

Here’s the latest SAFC news, analysis, rumours and more.
