Breaking News:Sunderland to sign a potential U21 star player as paperwork is completed

Sunderland to sign a potential star player as paperwork is completed 

As Sunderland aims to reposition themselves for a potential push into the playoff spots next season, their hopes of

Championship promotion in the current campaign have gradually dwindled. With focus now shifting towards the upcoming

summer transfer window at the Stadium of Light, attention is centered on securing a permanent manager following the conclusion of Mike Dodds’ interim tenure.

Before Sunderland can fully embark on their summer transfer plans, they must address the managerial vacancy left by

international, has been one of the standout performers for Wigan this season. Despite Wigan’s mid-table

position and their likelihood of missing out on promotion, Tickle’s impressive displays have caught the attention of Sunderland.

However, the prospect of moving up to the Championship could be enticing enough for Tickle to consider leaving.

Acquiring Tickle would provide Sunderland with two promising and youthful goalkeeper choices, or potentially one if Patterson decides to leave.

Wigan manager Shaun Maloney might hesitate to part ways with his goalkeeper, considering he praised him highly at the end of January. Maloney expressed:
