Sunderland have enjoyed a promising first half of the Championship season so far.
The Black Cats are aiming to fight for a second consecutive top six finish in the second division, after Tony Mowbray’s side came sixth in the table last year.
The Wearside outfit narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League, losing to Luton Town in the play-off semi-finals.
Sunderland are in the mix in the battle for a play-off spot this campaign, but competition is set to be fierce.
The January transfer market could provide the club with an opportunity to improve Mowbray’s first team squad for the second half of the term.
Here we look at the latest transfer news surrounding Sunderland one month before the window opens…
According to Teamtalk, Sunderland are part of the race to sign Kwame Poku from Peterborough United in the January transfer window.
The Black Cats could look to bolster their attacking options by attempting to sign the League One forward.
Poku has impressed in the third division so far this season, contributing seven goals and six assists from 18 appearances.
