BREAKING NEWS:Jobe Bellingham confirmed his decision not to play again in
The January transfer window is looming over the horizon at quite a pace, and Sunderland are already at the centre of their fair share of speculation.
Several transfer stories have already arisen with Sunderland linked with a couple of incoming deals already as January approaches plus some outgoings too.
Dennis Cirkin has been linked with Leeds United. The Sunday Mirror claims that the Whites are interested in the left-back this coming January but also adds that Sunderland are unlikely to sell the former Tottenham man. Cirkin is under contract at the club until 2026.
The Sun have claimed that Premier League club Nottingham Forest are interested in starlets Chris Rigg and Tommy Watson. The duo are highly rated, with Rigg playing in the majority of Sunderland’s games so far this season despite being just 17 years old. Watson made his first start for his boyhood club away to Preston North End recently. The Black Cats rebuffed bids from Brighton for the 18-year-old last summer.
The Sun also claim that Borussia Dortmund want Jobe Bellinghamto follow in brother Jude’s footsteps by moving to Germany. West Ham are also reportedly interested in the 19-year-old with Sunderland thought to value the highly-rated midfielder at around £21million. Last summer, Jobe extended his contract with Sunderland until the end of the 2027-28 season despite interest from other clubs including Crystal Palace and Brentford.
