Donald told Roker Report there has been interest in most of them, but wages and personal terms could be an issue with them.

On Ndong, he said: “There is interest from four or five clubs and they are all very close to the valuation.

“There’s been an increase in interest in Oviedo. Brugges expressed an interest but I don’t think they can afford him.

"There’s a German club and a French club who have shown an interest now.

“Kone, there’s interest in but not at our valuation. With Djilobodji, it’s quite quiet.

“I don’t think we’ll see them in a Sunderland shirt again so it becomes a financial transaction.”

Djilobodji and Ndong have refused to return to training, and as such the club has stopped paying their wages. Kone is back at the Academy of Light, but is training away from the first team while Oviedo is due back on Wearside next week after his World Cup exertions with Costa Rica.
Bolton Wanderers are pleased to announce the signing of Marc Wilson on a one-year deal.

The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international, who is capable of playing both in defence and midfield, was last on the books of Sunderland in 2017/18.

Essentially mercenary players who were only interested in the payday that Sunderland were daft enough to give them and now both sides are reaping the rewards of bad decisions by the previous regime at the club.
I think that most are who come to this country and I do blame the clubs themselves for not long term planning
I have to say I admire Warnock at Cardiff although he`s bought untested EPL players he`s bought hungry young homegrown players thus if Cardiff do return to the Championship there is something to build on for immediate return

"You pay more for a proven EPL Players" and those are the players you need, not necessarily true when WBA last year bought Gibbs, Barry and Rodriguez added to a solid EPL squad and had and had an awful year that couldn't have been predicted

I guess it`s down to many things the whole transfer market-luck, management of players, system and tactics, motivation, etc but Sunderland are a great example of what not to do! Fair Play to Jack Ross and the new owners for attempting to turn it round, I hope they have success on the pitch when the season starts

Watford forward Jerome Sinclair is on Wearside today in order to finalise a season-long loan move to Sunderland

Sunderland’s desperate need for strikers has led to wide-spread panic amongst large sections of our support over recent weeks, and rightly so.

With only 19-year old Josh Maja to call upon and with the season’s opener with Charlton Athletic just around the corner, getting bodies through the door ahead of that game has been the utmost priority for Jack Ross, Tony Coton and the rest of Sunderland’s recruitment team.

So it will be welcome news, then, for supporters to learn that Watford striker Jerome Sinclair is on Wearside today as he attempts to complete his season-long loan switch from the Premier League club in time for him to feature in Friday’s friendly game against Middlesbrough.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Max Johnstone has signed a one-year deal at Sunderland AFC.

The 19-year-old is the latest addition to the club's academy and will go into Elliott Dickman’s Under-23 squad for the 2018-19 season.
