Sunderland and their Championship rivals will be looking to strengthen in the final two weeks of the transfer window - while there could also be departures on Wearside.

Black Cats boss Tony Mowbray has admitted he expects Alex Pritchard to leave the club in the coming weeks, while there is also uncertainty over the futures of Danny Batth and Lynden Gooch.

All three players have just a year left on their Sunderland contracts and will have multiple suitors given their availability and Championship experience.

Blackburn have shown interest in Batth, 32, since the start of the summer, yet financial cuts have restricted the club’s spending this window.

QPR have also been credited with interest in the centre-back, while The Hoops are said to be monitoring Gooch’s situation, along with clubs in the MLS.
