The summer transfer rumours have already begun... While Sunderland's divisional status for next season remains uncertain, the seasonal transfer rumour mill is starting to pick up speed. And reports suggest that TWO summer deals are already being lined-up. Wigan defender Cedric Kipre is one of the first names to be linked with a move to Wearside ahead of the summer window, with the Sunday People claiming Sunderland will target the 22-year-old if they win promotion. Meanwhile, youngster Logan Pye has been linked with a £500,000 switch to Manchester United. The Black Cats have seen a number of their talented youngsters depart for Premier League clubs in recent months - and Pye could be the next in line for a move.

0HAVE YOUR SAY Sunderland are one of several League One clubs with an interest in AFC Wimbledon defender Deji Oshilaja, according to reports. HITC Sport claim that Jack Ross is keen on a move for the 25-year-old, who is set to become a free agent this summer. Oshilaja, who began his career as a youngster at Cardiff City, has spent the last two years with the Dons but will see his current contract expire next month. And after a stellar season on an individual level, the centre back is set to make a move during the summer window. The report claims that Sunderland, Barnsley and Fleetwood Town are all lining-up a move for Oshilaja once his contract expires. It is claimed that there was interest in the defender in the January transfer window, which Wimbledon managed to repel as they bid to cling on to their League One status. But he is now set for a move - with Sunderland having reportedly 'made their interest known' as the player weighs-up his next move. Oshilaja made 32 appearances for the Dons last season, and has also spent time on loan at Sheffield Wednesday and Gillingham.
