Sunderland transfer news: Former Chelsea and AC Milan player on trial with the Black Cats

Former AC Milan and Chelsea goalkeeper Marco Amelia is on trial with Sunderland, according to reports in Italy.

The Black Cats are in need of a new goalkeeper to provide cover for 22-year-old Jordan Pickford and the injured Vito Mannone.

Amelia is currently a free agent after being released by Chelsea and, according to Sportitalia, he is now training with Sunderland.

David Moyes is keen to take a look at the 34-year-old in the hope he impresses him enough to secure a contract.

Amelia is reportedly keen on returning to England after his spell at Chelsea and a move to Sunderland would see him join the 10th side of his career.
