Sunderland must turn to Wolves if they lose Aston Villa target in summer transfer window: View
Wolves’ Ki-Jana Hoever could be the perfect Trai Hume replacement if Sunderland sell the right-back this summer
It’s shaping up to be a huge summer for Sunderland, with pressure on the hierarchy to get things right after an underwhelming campaign.
In terms of incomings, it’s clear that the Black Cats are going to be in the market for a new striker, but there’s every chance that key players will depart the Stadium of Light in the summer as well.
We know how Sunderland operate. They target young players who they can develop and sell on for a profit, with Jack Clarke likely to command a substantial fee this summer as proof that this strategy works
However, he might not be the only one to go, with Trai Hume another player attracting interest from across Europe after his excellent season for the Wearside outfit, with Aston Villa and Napoli among his admirers.
Of course, Sunderland will want to keep him, but, as outlined above, they have a clear approach, and if his valuation is met, which would have to be a huge fee as well, then Hume will move on, and it’s natural that he will want to test himself at a higher level.
