Reported Sunderland transfer target Ryan Porteous has hinted that he could leave the Scottish Premiership when he departs Hibernian - leaving the door open for a potential move to Wearside. The Black Cats have been linked with the defender in recent days, with Porteous out of contract at the end of the season and with Hibs boss - and former Sunderland head coach - Lee Johnson saying that his club will listen to offers for the 23-year-old in January.
Sunderland are just one of a number of Championship sides said to be keen on the Scotland international, with Norwich City, Stoke City, and West Brom, believed to have shown interest. And now Porteous has said that he is open to moving to a different league.
"I do like the idea of moving to a different league and testing myself there," he told Sky Sports. "I think there's a lot of boys that have left Scottish football that have went down and flourished whether that be down south or abroad."
