Sunderland goalkeeper emerges as 'target' for newly-promoted side

Sunderland's backup goalkeeper Alex Bass is reportedly a target for League One newcomers Leyton Orient. According to the Sun on Sunday, Orient are keen on Bass as they look for a replacement for their out-of-contract number one Lawrence Vigouroux.

Ex-Liverpool and Swindon Town man Vigouroux can leave Brisbane Road for nothing this summer and has apparently attracted interest from newly-promoted Premier League side Burnley. Bass joined Sunderland from Portsmouth last summer and still has two years to run on his deal with the Black Cats.

Bass arrived on Wearside as cover for established first choice Anthony Patterson. Academy graduate Patterson was an ever-present in the league last season, with Bass restricted to just two cup outings - one in the FA Cup and one in the Carabao Cup.
