Sunderland ‘slap £10m price-tag’ on Whites-linked defender
Hume price-tag
Another name linked with Leeds this summer is Trai Hume but the versatile defender will not come cheap, with reports claiming Sunderland have slapped a £10m price-tag on him. There is no intention to sell Hume and so those in charge at the Stadium of Light will not come to the table until that value is met.
The Black Cats are thought to have rejected a £7m bid from Turkey earlier this week but expect interest from elsewhere to develop into bids. They will also have to pay 30 per cent of any profit to Hume’s previous club, Linfield, and so will demand a higher fee to ensure a significant profit is made if the 22-year-old moves on.
Leeds were one of several clubs to be linked with interest in Hume earlier this summer, with the Northern Ireland international also on the radars of Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Leicester and Napoli. The Whites seem to have moved on for now, having seen two bids in the region of £4m for Jayden Bogle rejected by Sheffield United, who want closer to £7m for the 23-year-old.
