With Sunderland desperately needing attacking quality for cheap, surely they should enter the race with Wolverhampton Wanderers for Robbie Keane.

Keane is currently playing in India and is 37-years-old, but is apparently willing to return to English football.

The Daily Mirror suggest that Wolves are keen on Keane, but Sunderland should consider hijacking the move.

Keane may still prefer a move back to Wolves, as it would be a fairytale ending to his career, but a switch to Sunderland could appeal, as he would have a chance to play regularly.

And the Black Cats should at least enquire over Keane’s availability, as Coleman looks to increase the quality of his attacking options.
