From Championship stars to Leeds United loan deals - here is how Sunderland’s January transfer window will look, according to Football Manager

As always in January, huge swathes of players are linked with moves to clubs and Sunderland will be no different.

Huge numbers of players will no doubt, as we speak, be touted to the Black Cats as potential additions to their squad by agents across the globe.

In the world of transfers, you can often get bogged down by the volume of players linked with your team and so here, we offer a little respite and some fun.

We have used the game Football Manager to see who they believe are the most likely players to join the Stadium of Light this month.

To do so, we simulated three January transfer windows and listed every player that joined the Black Cats.

Would you like to see any of these players arrive on Wearside this month?
