Sunderland are interested in Dutch midfielder Thom Haye, according to a report in Holland. The Black Cats are said to be one of a number of clubs tracking the Heerenveen star, with French side Toulouse also linked with the former Holland U21 international.
Journalist Sander de Vries tweeted in April that Sunderland had shown interest in Haye, and he has repeated the link in an article in the Leeuwarder Courant centred on Heerenveen's loan pursuit of Chelsea midfielder Charliie Webster. Haye came through the youth system at AZ Alkmaar, Den Haag, and NAC Breda, as well as in Italy with Lecce.
He joined Heerenveen from NAC Breda in January 2022 and hhas 12 months left on his contract. At 28, he is older than many of Sunderland's recent transfer targets but the Black Cats have made it clear that a number of more experienced heads are necessary to provide balance.
