Bolton Wanderers midfielder Erhun Oztumer is reportedly on the radar of Sunderland and Charlton Athletic.

Sunderland are interested in signing Erhun Oztumer from Bolton Wanderers in the January transfer window, according to Sky Sports.

It has been reported that Charlton Athletic also want to secure the services of the 27-year-old midfielder this month.

Stats

Oztumer joined Bolton in the summer of 2018 on a free transfer after leaving Walsall at the end of the 2017-18 campaign.

According to Sky Sports, the 27-year-old midfielder scored 32 goals in 95 appearances for Walsall.

The former Peterborough United man has made eight starts and six appearances in the Championship for Bolton so far this season, according to WhoScored.

Promotion push

Both Sunderland and Charlton are pushing for automatic promotion to the Championship at the end of the season, and Oztumer will be a decent signing for the Black Cats or the Addicks.

The midfielder was actually on the books of Charlton in their youth set-up from 1999 until 2007 before he left for Fisher Athletic as a teenager.

While Sunderland are third in the League One table at the moment, Charlton are currently fourth in the standings.
