Sunderland reportedly want Hibernian’s John McGinn.

Steven Gerrard’s Ibrox club Glasgow Rangers, Elland Road outfit Leeds United, Sunderland, West Ham United and Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic all have been linked with Hibernian star John McGinn, and it is not hard to see why.

McGinn is one of the best midfielders in the Scottish Premiership, and Gerrard’s Rangers, Leeds, Celtic and West Ham all will benefit from having the 23-year-old in their respective teams.

Ibrox club Rangers and Leeds want the Hibernian midfielder, according to The Scottish Sun, which also claims of Sunderland’s interest in the 23-year-old, while The Daily Record has reported that that Aston Villa and West Ham United want him.

Celtic are also interested in the 23-year-old midfielder, according to The Scottish Sun, which also claims that Hibernian value the Scotland international at £5 million.

McGinn at £5m would be a steal for any club, especially as he is 23 years of age and is only going to be improve in the coming years, but it seems that Sunderland are out of the running for the former St. Mirren star.

Sunderland owner Stewart Donald has told Roker Rapport that the Black Cats are not going to spend a lot of money, which suggests that the Black Cats will not be able to secure the services of McGinn.

Donald told Roker Rapport: “When it comes to buying players, we are not going to be going out and buying players for £1m, £2m, £3m. We are in League One.”
