Millwall reportedly want Sunderland goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin.

Sunderland chairman Stewart Donald has stated on Twitter that Jon McLaughlin and Aiden McGeady will not leave the club in the summer transfer window.

Goalkeeper McLaughlin and winger McGeady are two of the best players in the current Sunderland team and played well for the Black Cats last season.

With the Black Cats failing to clinch promotion to the Championship and set to stay in League One for another season at least, some will wonder whether McGeady will carry on playing for the Stadium of Light outfit.

After all, the 33-year-old winger has played in the Premier League with success, and the former Celtic and Everton man could easily find a club at the top end of the Championship.

McLaughlin is one of the best goalkeepers in League One and has been linked with Millwall in the Championship.

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 59, June 30, 2019), Millwall are planning to make a £1 million bid for the 31-year-old goalkeeper, but Sunderland are demanding as much as £5m (click here to read more).

Sunderland owner Donald, though, has made it clear on Twitter that neither McLaughlin nor McGeady will leave the Black Cats this summer.
