Sunderland reportedly want Bradford City’s Charlie Wyke and Luke O’Nien of Wycombe Wanderers.

Sunderland will attempt to hold talks with Bradford City over the transfer of Charlie Wyke this weekend, according to The Northern Echo.

The Black Cats – who will play in League One next season after getting relegated from the Premier League – have reportedly made a bid of £1 million for Wyke.

Bradford have reportedly refused to sell the 25-year-old striker so far, and Sunderland officials will try to hold further talks with them this weekend, according to The Northern Echo.

New offer?

Bradford seem determined not to lose Wyke, at least not for £1m, and maybe Sunderland will have to increase their offer.

After all, there is no much the Black Cats can do if League One rivals Bradford simply refuse to sell the 25-year-old striker for £1m.

It would make sense for Sunderland to increase the offer for the former Middlesbrough in an effort to change Bradford’s reported stance on him.

Meanwhile, Sunderland manager Jack Ross has confirmed his interest in Wycombe Wanderers midfielder Luke O’Nien.

According to The Northern Echo, Sunderland have agreed a deal with Wycombe over the transfer of the 23-year-old midfielder.

While speaking about Jack Baldwin and O’Nien, Ross told The Northern Echo: “They’re players that we’re trying to get to the club. I don’t want to say too much about them because it’s been a frustrating period in terms of trying to bring more in, and for a variety of reasons, we’ve not managed to get some of those over the line.

“Hopefully, those two get done and we can get them in the group. They’ll add further depth to the squad, and different qualities as well. Thereafter, I still think we need to bring a couple more beyond that.”
