Sunderland have made an impressive start to the summer transfer business ahead of their second season back in the Championship. The Black Cats were among the surprise packages as they finished in the top-six and secured a play-off berth but suffered defeat to Luton Town over the course of two legs.
Nectarios Triantis, Jobe Bellingham, Luis Semedo and Jenson Seelt have all penned deals at the Stadium of Light and Kristkjaan Speakman has also tied down the likes of Trai Hume and Dennis Cirkin to long-term deals. This contract renewals are important pieces of business given how well the dup adapted to life in the Championship.
However, there are seven players whose contracts are set to expire in the summer of 2024 and some important players at that. Ross Stewart is the arguably the most important renewal the club can commit to this summer, with the Scottish international a key focal point in the way the Black Cats play.
