Sunderland never keen on Moussa Sow

Sunderland were never interested in a summer deal for Senegalese striker Moussa Sow, according to reports.

The 29-year-old had claimed that the Black Cats were interested in securing his services in the summer.

However, The Sunderland Echo cites that sporting director Lee Congerton had no desire to bring in Sow, and instead recruited Fabio Borini from Liverpool.

Sow eventually agreed to join Emirati side Al Ahli from Fenerbahce in the transfer window.
