Sunderland chase Aly Cissokho

Sunderland are discussing a move for French full back Aly Cissokho. The Lyon man has two years left on his current contract and the Black Cats are prepared to bid 7.5m GBP to bring the defender to the club.

Cissokho has also been attracting the attentions of AC Milan, who have made an offer for the Frenchman in the past.

Sunderland have been linked with several players this summer and it appears that boss Steve Bruce is also looking to bring in defenders after the link with the Frenchman.
