Amad Diallo would be open to a return to Sunderland on one key condition.
The former Rangers loanee had a stunning season at the Stadium of Light as he helped the Black Cats finish in the top six and earn a crack at the play-offs. It wasn't to be for them this time around with a semi-final defeat to Luton Town, who defeated Coventry City on penalties at Wembley to earn a shot at the big time next season.
Speculation still surrounds former Celtic boss Tony Mowbray and his future at the club ahead of the new season but Alan Nixon reports in his Boss of Goss column in The Sun that should he be the man in the hot seat next season then he would be willing to return to the club once again.
