Bryan Oviedo has impressed in League One for Sunderland but could be on his way out of the Stadium of Light.
Bryan Oviedo could be on his way out of Sunderland this month, with Sky Sports claiming that one Championship club are keen to sign the Costa Rica international.
The former Everton left-back has been a picture of professionalism on Wearside, getting his head down and performing despite the Black Cats suffering successive relegations in the last two seasons, while a number of his former teammates ran for the exit.
But, with the Sun reporting that Oviedo is earning £25,000-a-week – a staggering amount for a League One player – it seems the 28-year-old could still be forced out of the Stadium of Light before the transfer window shuts this week.
Sky believes that there is one team willing to offer Oviedo a chance to prove himself in the Championship, while a number of overseas sides are also interested.
Back in July, Sunderland turned down a £2.2 million bid from Club Brugge, making it clear that they wanted £3 million for Oviedo, according to Bola Vip.
And, if there is any club willing to pay that amount now, a £3 million windfall could help finance Sunderland’s move for a new striker.
