According to the Daily Mail, Sunderland are eyeing up a move for Peterborough United’s Marcus Maddison, and if they did sign him he would be the best addition they could make this summer.

Maddison has been one of the stand out talents at League One level for over two years now, and it was thought that the Posh winger was heading to the Championship this summer.

However, Sunderland have now joined the race to snap up Maddision, and if they could get a deal over the line, Jack Ross’ side would have so much ammunition next season.

Maddison has established himself as one of the top play makers in the Football League in recent times, with his assists stats nothing short of remarkable.

Maddison has contributed 41 assists in his last two seasons for the Posh, and he has also scored frequently.

The 24-year-old still has years ahead of him to improve, but Sunderland would immediately have one of the most dangerous attackers in the third tier in their squad, if they were able to bring Maddison to the Stadium of Light.

And if Jack Ross can bring in Maddison this summer, then it would be a wonderful start to his transfer business on Wearside.
