Sunderland 'in the running' to sign Dutch striker Sydney van Hooijdonk

Sunderland are among at least ten clubs monitoring Dutch striker Sydney van Hooijdonk, according to reports. The 72 claims the Black Cats and Southampton are keen on signing the Bologna forward this summer.

The Dutchman, who spent last season on loan at Heerenveen, scored 16 goals in 33 Eredivisie appearances with three more in cup competitions. The Black Cats remain keen on bolstering their attacking options this summer, with Ross Stewart and Luis Hemir Semedo the only senior strikers at the club.

Millwall, Stoke City, and Swansea City have all been credited with an interest in Van Hooijdonk but now the report claims there's also interest from Premier League sides. The Dutchman is said to have been valued in the region of £10million at the beginning of 2023, but Bologna are reportedly looking to sell.
