Queens Park Rangers are reportedly interested in David Wheeler. Should Sunderland make a move as well?
Ian Holloway’s side are in desperate need of some creative flair, and are plotting a move for the 26-year-old winger.
Should Sunderland be interested and challenge QPR for Wheeler?
Wheeler joined League Two outfit Exeter City in 2013 from Staines Town, and has gradually established himself as a key player for them ever since.
He was at his best last season, as he bagged 20 goals in all competitions, and further laid off six for others.
Sunderland have signed seven players already this summer, but Simon Grayson could still be looking to add one or two players before the transfer window closes.
Simon Grayson has done a brilliant job in signing players either on cut-price deals or on loans.
The Black Cats’ parlous financial condition mean they have struggled to make big money signings from other rival clubs.
Grayson has looked further down the league to sign quality players like James Vaughan from Bury, and he should do it again to sign Wheeler at a bargain price.
Wheeler has the required skill and talent to shine at a bigger platform, and he would represent a smart signing for the Black Cats.
