TBR Football understands Sunderland will explore the possibility of selling Dennis Cirkin in the winter transfer window.

Sources have informed TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey that Cirkin is increasingly unlikely to extend his contract at the Stadium of Light, and Sunderland are expected to cash in on the defender in January.

Bailey states: “On the chopping block, definitely. He’s seen two left-backs come in ahead of him this summer — Masuaku and Reinildo. As we’ve written previously, Cirkin is on Tottenham’s radar. He would fill a homegrown player slot, and Spurs like him regardless — he’s had real progression.

“Sunderland have also seen a few of their homegrown talents — the players who helped them get promoted — sidelined slightly. Cirkin is one of them; Dan Neil is another.

“Given the situation, I’d be surprised if Cirkin committed to a new deal, especially knowing he’s got interest elsewhere. He was arguably the best left-back in the Championship last season, but now he’s not getting regular games, and he’s had the odd injury.

“I don’t see a new contract in the offing for him right now. I could see a January deal, though, just to make sure Sunderland get some money for him.”

No suprise really. I hope be can manage to stay fit at his next club and fulfil his potential.

Asllani and Etta Eyong been real standouts this season, not just in goals and assists but quality of shots and all around play.

That will surely depend on how many goals our front line manage to bag between now and January. If,as I suspect, it's not enough, another striker is highly likely.....whether it'll be this lad is another question.

For me if you look at Reinildo’s suspension as an example we need to have a good look at depth. It’s weakened us significantly I think. I think we need a better step in option there, could that be Lucumi? Not sure if he’s also covered left back but he’s a ball playing left footer with pace. Centre back seems ok, probably right back. The wings feel weaker depth wise to me. I’d say we need to add one there. What if we lost another centre mid now? We have to maintain our competitiveness and I’m not sure we have premier league capability in our depth. There’s also Afcon !

Agree,there's several challenges we could potentially face. Adding Lucumi...which I think we will...would certainly strengthen us. Not sure about the wings...Mundle coming back will give us another option.....it's creativity that we need,which really means getting Diarra,Enzo and Rigg fully functional as well as Talbi,Mundle and Adingra. Afcon,is largely an unknown, we could lose significant players for 4 or 5 weeks,or we could have them all back in a fortnight. Knowing how we plan our acquisitions these days,I'll bet that caused intense discussion and crystal ball gazing during the summer. I come back to the point and I'm consistently worried about goals. Wilson has done well so far,but we have missed a couple of straight forward chances in matches,which we really should have taken. Whether Brobbey will be able to step up,I'm not sure,but this is where my focus will be. I'm delighted with the start we've had,but if we can't take more of the limited number of chances we're going to get in this league,we'll struggle for sure.

Sunderland will not be resurrecting their interest in defender Jhon Lucumí in the January transfer window. ❌

Sunderland have ended their interest following the arrival of Nordi Mukiele and Lutsharel Geertruida.

Right decision. We don't need any more defenders for this season.
