SUNDERLAND have concluded their transfer business on deadline day - but there will still be a couple of exits in the coming days.
The Northern Echo understands Nazariy Rusyn and Milan Aleksic are set to leave the club on loan, but they're both going to clubs who play in countries where the transfer window is still open.
Those deals will be finalised and confirmed in the coming days.
A hectic transfer window finished with Sunderland having signed three new players in Lutsharel Geertruida, Brian Brobbey and Bertrand Traore.
There was also a host of exits, with Patrick Roberts, Jenson Seelt, Niall Huggins, Alan Browne and Oli Bainbridge all leaving the club on loan.
Marc Guiu also departed with Sunderland having agreed for the forward to return to parent club Chelsea.

After returning to Stamford Bridge, Guiu posted on Instagram: "Short, really short, but intense.
"In just a few weeks I've come to understand what football truly means to this city and how that passion creates a unique and unmatched atmosphere at the Stadium of Light.
"It has been an absolute honour to wear the jersey, and although fate is unpredictable and had other plans for me, I can assure you that these colours and this city will forever hold a place in my heart.
"Thank you to everyone at Sunderland AFC for the warm welcome and support. I wish you all the very best for the future."
Rusyn doesn't feature in Le Bris' plans and was one of the players who was told very early in the summer he could move on.
Sunderland still have hopes for Aleksic in the future but appreciate the 20-year-old needs to play regularly this season, which wouldn't be possible on Wearside.
