Sunderland still hoping to sign Cristian Rodriguez

25 July 2014 - 07:45

Uruguayan attacking midfielder Cristian Rodriguez remains a target for Sunderland. Gus Poyet, the Black Cats' coach, has identified the player as a potential new summer recruit.

  • Chelsea set to hold talks with £22m winger
  • Chelsea set for contract talks with £26m star



  • The 28-year-old is wanted at the Stadium of Light by his fellow countryman, coach Poyet.

    "This has been out for a few days and this week I had a chat with people in Uruguay, who are obviously desperate for Rodriguez to come with us," said Poyet.

    "It’s ongoing. At the moment it’s a possibility, but it’s no more than that. He’s a player that I admire a lot because he’s got power, desire and experience playing with the top teams.

    "He wants to play football, he’s desperate to be playing week-in, week-out."
