David Moyes is predicting that Sunderland will have to make changes to their team during the summer transfer window.

David Moyes has recently told the Daily Mail that Sunderland are set for a summer of upheaval.

With the Black Cats looking likely to be relegated, big changes need to be made at the Stadium of Light.

And Moyes said: “Unfortunately, I think there will be a change around of players again. Lots of players came in on loan or free transfers last summer and there will be a big turn around of players again.”

In this article, we take a look at three players who could be at the most risk of leaving Sunderland this summer.

Jan Kirchhoff

Kirchhoff’s contract at Sunderland is set to expire and it is hard to see the German sticking around.

The former Bayern Munich man was one of the main reasons why Sunderland stayed up last season, but fitness issues have plagued his campaign this time around.

Kirchhoff’s persistent injury problems have been an issue throughout his career, and it seems that he is very likely to move on in the summer.

Wahbi Khazri

If David Moyes remains in charge at Sunderland next season, than Khazri will surely be offloaded.

Khazri has hardly been used by Moyes this season, despite Sunderland’s struggles going forward.

The Tunisian international clearly does not fit into his current manager’s plans, and is likely to be put up for sale in the summer – regardless of what division Sunderland are in.

Fabio Borini

The Italian attacker has badly disappointed this season, and has offered very little going forward.

Borini has scored just once in 17 Premier League appearances for Sunderland, with his performances failing to impress.

And it seems likely that Borini’s time at Sunderland will be over at the end of the season.
