Pundit: Black cats could use £20m+ sale to sign “fantastic” player against usual transfer policy

After Mike Dodds’ interim tenure ends at the end of the current campaign, Sunderland will concentrate

on finding a new manager; yet, the Black Cats have been identified as possible suitors for the ideal Jack

Clarke replacement.

News about Sunderland transfers

Ever since Sunderland parted ways with Tony Mowbray, they have been through a nightmare. Initially,

the Championship as a result of their decision to continue with Dodds on an interim basis until the end

of the campaign.

The Black Cats, who don’t exactly provide a good image when looking for new managers, have been

connected to players like Paul Heckingbottom, Steve Cooper, and Marek Papszun, but they haven’t made

any headway in resolving their transfer situation. Meanwhile, conjecture on Jack Clarke’s future hasn’t

helped.

Sunderland may have to sell the winger in a deal that is reputedly worth over £20 million because West

Ham United, Leeds United, and Tottenham Hotspur have all been connected to approaches for him.

Mikey Johnston may need to be replaced, according to Carlton Palmer, who has predicted that

Sunderland will be one of the teams after the winger.

“Fantastic” Johnston is a ready-made Clarke replacement

Johnston would be a ready-made successor for Clarke as he heads for the exit, even if he is older than

the club’s typical target age range and had a stellar season at the Hawthorns. In just nine Championship

appearances, the Celtic loanee has scored six goals and provided one assist.
