Sunderland's Michael Ledger

A number of clubs at home and abroad are tracking Sunderland defender Michael Ledger after his impressive loan spell at Viking Stavanger, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.


Ledger has just ended a successful loan spell at Norwegian side Viking where he made 14 appearances after joining the club in March.

Viking were keen to extend Ledger's loan, but Sunderland have recalled him to have him back for pre-season training to see if he can break into the first-team ahead of next season in the Championship.

Sunderland's Michael Ledger

A number of German clubs extensively scout teams in Norway and Mainz are thought to have been impressed by Ledger and have made an enquiry for the central defender.


A Scottish Premiership side and a League One club have both made enquiries for Ledger and are waiting to see if Sunderland plan to keep the defender next season or are willing to loan him again
The 19-year-old has come through the ranks at Sunderland and is a regular in the club's Under-23s but has yet to make a senior appearance for the Black Cats.

 

Sounds promising. Looks like the lad has had a hell of a paper round.

 

Aye he looks a big lump for a 19 year old.

 

Looks a bit like Michael Turner actually, hope he's better but if not he can still do a job for us.

 

Big lad

 

The fact he actually looks like hes moving in those pictures suggests hes better than Michael Turner.

 

I was beginning to wonder if we were capable of producing them over 5'9.

 

Recent selfie from Turner's Facebook:



Just realised the irony of his name when it's the one thing he can't do.

 

Changed the pic because I'd inadvertently put one up of the London tower block.

 

I like how it also looks like Andy Melville.

 

I liked him. I liked Paul Butler, too, but not many cared for him. Craddock was a belta.

Just stoned and rambling but I used to like our centre backs, back in the day.

 

Ah Paul Butler, another Block heed. Craddock was a better all round footballer than the big immobile lads mentioned. My kind of Center Back was Jody. Not keen on his art though.

 

A ball playing centre back. He'd even done even better if he was playing these days.

His art is pure pants

 

What is it like, stick figures in Sunderland shirts?

The David Haye one looks alright, the other one not so much.

 

I wish we still had Emerson Thome and Varga.

 

I've got a few of their CDs.
