Sunderland are said to be lining up a bid for Hibernian striker Jason Cummings.
Hibernian striker Jason Cummings has admitted to Deadline Day News that it is flattering that Sunderland boss David Moyes watched him in his last match.
Sunderland are said to be keen on signing Cummings in the summer transfer window, as they have identified the striker as a potential addition (The Scottish Sun).
Cummings has scored 16 goals in 24 matches this season, and Sunderland feel that he could lead their line effectively.
Moyes has even been to personally check on the striker, but Cummings has suggested that Moyes may have taken the trip to Scotland to look at John McGinn, rather than him.
“It’s mad to see big names like that coming to watch the games you’re in, Friday night away at Tannadice,” Cummings said.
“David Moyes is a massive name although I didn’t know until after the game. He was probably watching super John McGinn, not me.”
Moyes is already planning summer transfers for Sunderland, even though their Premier League future looks very uncertain.
The Black Cats are currently sat at the bottom of England’s top flight, and they are seven points adrift of safety.
Hibs, meanwhile, look set to be promoted back to the Scottish Premiership.
