The contract situation of every Sunderland player including stars Ross Stewart, Aiden McGeady, Dan Neil and Manchester City loanee

The Black Cats are stuttering in League One as they look to finally achieve promotion at the fourth time of asking this season.

A lot of that may come down to recruitment in the January window which will also be important in terms of replacing some of Sunderland’s current squad.

As it stands, over half of Johnson’s current squad are set to see their time at the Stadium of Light come to an end in the summer of 2022 including loan stars who are all set to return to their parent clubs,

It means the Black Cats could face another huge summer of upheaval should they not be able to achieve their promotion goal.

Here we look at the contract situation of every member of the Black Cats first team squad and how long they have left on Wearside.
