Amad Diallo return: Every player linked with Sunderland ahead of the January transfer window

In an attempt to finish in the play-offs once more, Sunderland is getting ready for a crucial January transfer window.
With Michael Beale leading the way, Sunderland hopes to improve and finish in the top six come May. The Black Cats are now seventh in the Championship.

Although they’ve had a respectable start to the season, their lack of consistency puts them in a competitive group with several other teams, and eventually, some of those clubs will lose out.

That makes the January window extremely important, especially as Sunderland could use some additional depth and quality in a few places.

With that said, here are the players linked with Sunderland ahead of the transfer window…

Musa Drammeh

The Sevilla attacker has been on Sunderland’s radar for a little while now.

At 22-year-old he currently plays for Sevilla’s reserve side and is yet to break into their top tier squad.

The Black Cats have reportedly already had a bid rejected for Drammeh, but there’s still plenty of time for them to submit an improved offer.

Amad Diallo

The dynamic winger spent last season on loan in the north east.

He has since returned to Manchester United, but an injury in pre-season may have got in the way of a Sunderland return.

Amad has made it no secret that he loved his time on Wearside and if he is sent out on loan again, Sunderland appears his most likely destination. Although, Leicester City are also monitoring the situation.

Kwame Poku

Poku, 22, has seven goals and seven assists in 20 League One outings for Peterborough United.

A whole host of second tier sides were reported to be monitoring him with Sunderland, West Brom, Ipswich Town and Stoke City among those named.
