With Monday's transfer deadline fast approaching, Sunderland are working to bring in more reinforcements to bolster their promotion bid.
Lee Johnson still wants to bring in another striker, and a return to Wearside for Jermain Defoe remains a possibility, but he could also add another full-back and/or another midfielder to ensure his side is not left short of specialist cover in the second half of the season.
But while there is more work to do, it has already been a busy transfer window for Sunderland with 15 player movements already taking place.
