Sunderland plot move for Sebastian Haller

Sunderland have joined the pursuit for Utrecht striker Sebastian Haller, according to reports.

The 21-year-old joined the Dutch side on a permanent basis this summer, following an impressive six-month loan spell with the club.

Championship outfit Brentford are thought to have made £4m offer for Haller and L'Equipe claims that the Black Cats are ready to compete with the Bees for the talented striker.

Haller scored 14 goals in 19 league games for the Eredivisie outfit last term.
