Sunderland’s Wahbi Khazri is reportedly one of the players Jack Ross’ side are looking to sell this summer.

According to a report in the Northern Echo, Sunderland are asking for £5 million for winger Wahbi Khazri.

Khazri is said to have asked for a free transfer, following Sunderland’s relegation to League One, but the Black Cats are not prepared to allow him to leave for nothing.

Sunderland are more than happy to sell the Tunisian international, but want a fee for him.

The 27-year-old spent last season out on loan at Rennes in France, where he scored nine goals in 29 appearances.

Khazri will also be one of his country’s stars at the World Cup in Russia, which will provide him with an excellent opportunity to showcase his talent.

Khazri is rated, alongside Lamine Kone, as one of the two players Sunderland expect to receive substantial fees for this summer.

The Black Cats have already reportedly rejected one offer for the set piece specialist, and will only sell him once a side meets his £5 million valuation.
