Former Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is currently the favourite to take over at Sunderland.
With Nigel Pearson the favourite to take over at Sunderland, we take a look at three Leicester City players he could bring to the Stadium of Light.
Leonardo Ulloa
Ulloa was wanted by Sunderland in January, but the two clubs failed to agree a deal, with Leicester opting to keep the target man.
Ulloa has struggled to break into Leicester’s first-team this season, though, and looks set to depart in the summer.
Sunderland could well make another offer, as he would be a real weapon at Championship level.
Matty James
Injury has halted James’ progress at Leicester, but he remains a talented player.
The central midfielder appears to have lost his place at the King Power Stadium.
But, in the Championship, he could make a good addition for Sunderland’s midfield.
Tom Lawrence
Lawrence tore up the Championship on a loan spell at Ipswich Town earlier this season, and will be in demand this summer.
If Pearson is in charge at Sunderland, it could give the Black Cats an advantage in the race for the youngster’s signature.
