Hide AdMillar came through the ranks at Liverpool and enjoyed loan spells at Kilmarnock and Charlton Athletic before joining Basel on a permanent deal in 2021. Millar then joined North End on loan during the summer window and played 21 times, scoring three times and chipping in with four assists.
Nixon goes on to say that 'Sunderland could move for Millar in this window but are more likely to leave it until the end of the season unless a big offer comes for Clarke.' Sunderland are reportedly holding out for a fee of around £18million with Brentford credited with an interest in the former Leeds United man.
