Sunderland will sign a fantastic 28-year-old ace in January as a free agent.
Sunderland’s team could undergo yet another makeover next summer, depending on which league they are in.
Promotion to the Premier League will see Tony Mowbray bring in a host of new faces to freshen things up and ensure they stay beyond the opening campaign, while another season in the Championship may lead to a number of key players being snapped up.
While the club are likely to have plenty of cash to spend either way, they have opted to be more careful with their funds in recent years.
We know Sunderland like to pick up cheap prospects from the Premier League and beyond, but here are 11 players that could consider that are out of contract in 2024.
Tyrhys Dolan
Tyrhys Dolan is highly regarded at Blackburn Rovers, having made his senior debut at 19 years old in 2020 under Mowbray.
The winger made 40 appearances in the Championship last season, netting four goals and providing six assists.
