Sunderland are reportedly interested in signing Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Jason Steele.
Sunderland are looking to bolster their goalkeeping department following the departures of Jordan Pickford and Vito Mannone to Everton and Reading respectively.
The Black Cats have Mika and Max Stryjek on their books, but both are inexperienced, and are yet to make a first team appearance.
Dutch goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter, a free agent, is currently on trial at the club, and the player’s agent is hoping to secure a contract for his client.
Blackburn’s Jason Steele looks dejected at full time
Sunderland are reportedly looking to offer Blackburn £500,000 plus add-on, in order to secure the services of the 26-year-old goalkeeper.
Rovers have seen more than a dozen players leave the club this summer, following relegation from the Championship; but Tony Mowbray is particularly not keen on losing the goalkeeper.
Sunderland fans have taken to Twitter to express their view on the player – and we can find that there is a divide of opinion.
