As per EFL rules, the Black Cats are able to sign free agents following the closure of the summer transfer window. And while Jack Ross’ squad currently looks well-stocked across the board, there are some attractive names still available for no transfer fee. Scroll down and click through the pages to see 11 of the exciting free agents Sunderland could still look to sign:
5. JAMES MORRISON
Formerly of Middlesbrough and West Brom, the Scot is yet to earn a new contract after leaving the Baggies. He would bring vast experience to any side, but wages may prove a stumbling block in League One. Photo: Alex Pantling
6. MATT JARVIS
Injuries have blighted Jarvis’ promising career, but he remains a talented wideman. Released by Norwich City, the one-time England cap will now be looking to relaunch his career at a new club. Photo: Alex Pantling
7. ROSS WALLACE
A familiar name to Sunderland fans, and a player who impressed in League One with Fleetwood last term. He was released by the Cod Army last week as they looked to free up funds to sign centre back Jimmy Dunne. Photo: Mike Hewitt
8. JAMES MEREDITH
Sunderland’s left-back conundrum looks to have been solved, but Meredith could prove another option should Laurens De Bock or Denver Hume be unavailable. An Australian international, Portsmouth have been keeping a close eye on the former Millwall man. Photo: George Wood
