Sunderland have been linked with former Manchester United starlet Ravel Morrison, who is looking for a new club after his deal with Derby County expires at the end of June.
Once hyped up as one of England's hottest prospects, Morrison's career has not hit the heights that were necessarily expected of him.
Last season was just the first time the 29-year-old had made over 20 appearances since 2018, with the midfielder making 38 appearances in all competitions for Wayne Rooney's Derby.
