Nathan Broadhead return makes sense for Sunderland but Kristjaan Speakman can play trump card

It's no surprise to see Nathan Broadhead linked with a return to Sunderland this summer following a stellar loan spell last season. The Welsh striker scored 13 goals during his Stadium of Light tenure and earned a first senior call-up to Rob Page's Wales squad.

The 24-year-old was unable to make his debut for his country with the injury he sustained at the end of last season, ruling him out of the international fixtures. Nonetheless, that call-up was thoroughly deserved and it may have played a part in Frank Lampard wanting to assess the striker this summer.

Broadhead returned to Merseyside and was included in the Toffees' pre-season squad for their tour of America but has struggled for game time. With that in mind, it's come as a surprise to see reports claim Everton have offered Broadhead a new deal, with him in the final year of his contract.
