Sunderland have six league games remaining this season – while the club’s recruitment team will already be looking ahead to the summer transfer window.
The Black Cats have been linked with several players over the last year, some of whom could be available at the end of this season. Here are nine players who have reportedly been on Sunderland’s radar and may be looking to move on at the end of the campaign.
9. Joe Gelhardt (Leeds)
Following his loan spell at Sunderland last season, Gelhardt hasn’t been able to break into Leeds’ starting XI. The 21-year-old forward has made just eight Championship appearances, including only two starts, and would fall even further down the pecking order if Daniel Farke's side are promoted. With three years left on his Leeds contract, a loan or permanent move may suit the forward. Photo: Jess Hornby
