As we enter the final days of the summer window, the Black Cats have made no secret of their desire to sign a left-back. But who else could they and their third-tier counterparts sign? We take a look at SEVEN deals that may take place before deadline day on Monday. Scroll and click through the pages:
5. James Meredith to Portsmouth
The 31-year-old right-back has trained with Pompey over recent weeks following his release from Millwall. Kenny Jackett has admitted he is considering signing the ex-Bradford City man after losing Lee Brown for six weeks with an Achilles injury. Photo: James Chance
6. Morgan Fox to Sunderland
Sunderland have been chasing a left-back all summer, and it seems Jack Ross is not prepared to give up on the Fox chase. The Owls are determined to keep hold of him, but that doesn't mean a deal can't happen. Photo: Shaun Botterill
7. Harry Brockbank to Various
Brockbank was heavily-linked with Sunderland earlier in the summer but has remained at Bolton. However, given The Trotters’ uncertain future with liquidation a possibility, the 20-year-old won’t be short of offers should the unthinkable happen. Photo: Pete Norton
