Sunderland have made three new signings during this summer’s transfer window – with the club still looking to strengthen.
The Black Cats have added midfielder Alan Browne, winger Ian Poveda and goalkeeper Simon Moore to their squad on free transfers, while they are also looking to negotiate contracts with some of their key players.
Sunderland have agreed a first professional contract with teenager Chris Rigg, while defender Dan Ballard has signed a contract extension on Wearside. The Black Cats have also offered a new contract to Dan Neil, while other members of the squad are heading into the final year of their deals.
Here’s a list of Sunderland’s senior players and when their deals are set to expire:
