Sunderland are reportedly keen on Leyton Orient attacker Josh Koroma.
According to The Independent’s live transfer blog (11:28), Sunderland have submitted a bid of £300,000 for Leyton Orient striker Josh Koroma.
Sunderland have just announced the signing of Celtic winger Lewis Morgan, but the focus will now turn to adding a new striker or two.
The Black Cats have seen Josh Maja move on to Bordeaux, meaning that whilst they needed one striker coming into the window, they now need two.
A whole host of forwards are being linked with moves to Wearside, and another one can be added to the list in Leyton Orient talent Koroma.
The 20-year-old has come up through the Orient ranks and already has nearly 100 first-team appearances to his name at such a young age.
Koroma has hit nine goals for the non-league side this season, and his potential appears to have attracted Sunderland’s interest.
A £300,000 bid is on the table from Sunderland according to The Independent, who want Koroma as a replacement for the departed Maja.
It remains to be seen whether that bid meets Orient’s valuation, but Sunderland are pushing hard to bring in strikers today.
