Sunderland have been linked with a move for Leeds United youngster Sonny Perkins. That's according to TeamTalk who claims the Black Cats and Blackburn Rovers are both keen on a loan move for the 19-year-old.
Perkins was part of the Whites U21s side that won promotion from Premier League 2 Division 2 last year and bagged 13 goals at youth level following his summer switch from West Ham United. The majority of those goals came in the opening months of the season, scoring eight in his first seven games.
That run of form saw him make three senior appearances for Leeds in cup competitions, notching a late equaliser in the FA Cup third round at Cardiff City. The England U19 international is highly thought of at Elland Road and has seemingly outgrown the youth team.
