Sunderland transfers: Eight players likely to leave and 18 set to stay as full 32-man squad assessed: Gallery
The Black Cats will be looking to make new additions ahead of next season, while some players are set to leave the club before the start of the next campaign.
We’ve taken a closer look at every Sunderland player’s situation – including the players who are out on loan - and what to expect this summer.
5. Lynden Gooch
After turning down other offers and signing a new two-year deal at Sunderland last summer, Gooch, 27, is likely to stay at the Stadium of Light for next season. He now has strong competition from Hume for the right-back position, though. Photo: Frank Reid
6. Niall Huggins
Huggins will still have two years left on his contract at Sunderland this summer, as the full-back continues to recover from a long-term injury setback. The Black Cats have been trying to manage his comeback and a loan move may be an option next season. Photo: FRANK REID
7. Daniel Ballard
Sunderland see Ballard as a key player following his summer move from Arsenal on a three-year contract, with a club option of a further year. The 23-year-old has impressed since returning from a foot injury in December so the Black Cats will hope they can hang on to him. Photo: Frank Reid
8. Danny Batth
Batth has repeatedly said he’s enjoying life at Sunderland, while a one-year contract extension has been triggered for next season. The 32-year-old has captained the side in recent weeks and has been a key player this campaign. Photo: Frank Reid
