Sunderland are thought to be interested in signing the highly talented Newcastle winger Alex Gilliead.
The 21-year-old is currently on loan at Bradford City and he has been a key player for the League One side so far this season.
According to reports, Sunderland, Hull City and Millwall are interested in securing Gilliead’s services in January. Scouts from all three clubs have watched the player closely in the recent weeks.
Sunderland are in a crisis right now and Coleman is in desperate need of new signings. However, signing someone from their bitter rivals will be complicated.
