A striker linked with Sunderland in June has now been tipped to leave his current club.
Once again for Sunderland and sporting director Kristjaan Speakman, new strikers are the main focus going into this summer’s transfer window.
Since the Black Cats’ return to the Championship in 2022 and then the subsequent injury struggles of Ross Stewart, Sunderland haven’t had a goal-scoring no.9 in their ranks.
Following the prolonged four-month search process for a new head coach, Speakman and co are now under intense pressure to deliver positive results in this summer’s transfer window.
Several striker have been linked with potential summer moves to the Stadium of Light, including Notts County ace Macaulay Langstaff.
The 27-year-old scored 28 goals in League Two last season after netting 42 National League goals the previous season.
Born in Stockton-on-Tees, the striker has worked his way up and through the non-league system, representing the likes of Gateshead along the way.
