Hide AdEFL rules stipulate that all paperwork relating to a transfer must be submitted to and approved by the governing body by “12.00 noon on the day prior to the date of such match”
That means that Sunderland have until midday today to secure any new signings - otherwise they won’t be able to feature until the trip to MK Dons on Saturday, January 18.
Parkinson is believed to be targeting up to five new additions during this window.
