Sunderland keen on Hugo Almeida

29 January 2012 - 06:02

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill is considering a move for Portuguese striker Hugo Almeida. Almeida currently plays for Turkish giants Besiktas, with whom he has been playing for just over a year. Almeida would be available for around $4 million.

Man Utd can finally sign Ederson for huge bargain fee

The former Porto and Werder Bremen striker has enjoyed a very successful spell in Turkey, and his goals have helped Besiktas to a domestic cup success last year.<br />

Sunderland are currently short of striking options, and Nicklas Bendtner sustained a facial injury two weeks ago and Asamoah Gyan remains on loan in the UAE until the end of the year.<br />

Almeida has reportedly been offered to several Premier League clubs by his agent, but Sunderland are in pole position to land the striker.
