SC Heerenveen midfielder Thom Haye is set to make a decision regarding his future at the Eredivisie club in the coming days amid links to Sunderland. The 28-year-old midfielder was part of De Superfriezen side that missed out on Europa League qualification following a 6-1 aggregate defeat to FC Twente.
The Black Cats have been repeatedly linked with the former Dutch youth international in recent months. "In principle, I still have a contract here. I know there is interest and things are going on, but I’m pushing all of that off me,” Haye told Omrop Fryslan.
"I find that difficult to say. I have always said that I can still take a step from Heerenveen. That is my ambition.
