The transfer window officially opens this week, with Sunderland looking to strengthen their squad ahead of another Championship promotion push. The Black Cats will need to make some big decisions this summer, with some key areas of the squad needing to be addressed.
They have already made their first signing, with Australian defender Nectarios Triantis to join the club from Central Coast Mariners, while they have been linked with Birmingham City's Jobe Bellingham and Benfica B striker Luis Semedo. Both deals are reportedly close, with Tony Mowbray and Kristjaan Speakman looking to get their business done early.
This is also the time of year when clubs reveal their retained list - meaning some big names are out of contract and looking for new deals. Some will command big wages, but they are all available without a transfer fee.
