The Reading striker has dropped a couple of hints which suggest he is Sunderland bound.
Some Sunderland fans think that Reading’s Marc McNulty could be the mystery striker heading to the Stadium of Light.
The Charlton Athletic manager, Lee Bowyer, claimed on Tuesday that Sunderland had beaten his side to an unnamed centre forward target (South London Press).
McNulty later tweeted a photo of his Reading teammate, and the former Mackems midfielder, David Meyler, at Nando’s, stating that it was ‘The last supper’, before Meyler did the reverse.
And it has since emerged that McNulty is following Sunderland on Twitter.
This is what those of a Mackems persuasion are saying…
McNulty is not thought to have a future at Reading, where he struggled to make an impact after his arrival from Coventry City a year ago.
The Scot, who played alongside the new Sunderland recruit, Jordan Willis, at Coventry, later impressed while on loan to Hibernian, however, a spell which yielded eight goals and five assists from 17 outings.
Would the Reading striker be a good addition for Sunderland?
