Sunderland have just eight league games remaining this season – with some members of their squad nearing the end of their contracts.
The Black Cats have managed to agree long-term deals with several players over the last year, but will have to make decisions regarding those nearing the end of their current contracts. Here’s a list of Sunderland’s senior players, including those out on loan, and when their deals are set to expire:
