Without doubt, Jordan Henderson's rumoured return to the Black Cats has put the cat among the pigeons as the Wearside giants plot an approach for the Ajax midfielder.
Manchester United's Amad Diallo has also been mentioned in the same bracket, illustrating a marker of the ambition Sunderland have to make sure their stay in the top-flight isn't a temporary one next term.
£20-million-rated AS Monaco star Wilfried Singo has entered Sunderland's thoughts as a potential successor to Luke O'Nien. However, expect plenty more names to be linked with a move to the North East over the coming weeks and months.

It could be a big summer for the Black Cats.
Either way, Sunderland will arrive into the new campaign champing at the bit to restore their reputation as one of the most revered clubs in the country.
For some, it may be their first time witnessing their side back in the top-flight, but there can be no doubt that their size and history are something that enthusiastic neutrals will welcome.
Now, Le Bris appears to have got a head start in the window and is set to hold talks with a talented forward over a loan move to the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland set to hold talks over Jayden Danns loan deal
According to The Northern Echo, Sunderland are interested in a second loan move for Liverpool youngster Jayden Danns after the striker failed to make a single appearance in his initial temporary spell at the club as they claimed promotion and are set to hold transfer talks with the Reds.

Unfortunately, the England Under-19 international was sidelined with a back injury that ended in him being sent back to his parent club for further treatment.

Nevertheless, his relationship with Le Bris and the rapport between the two clubs forged during his unfateful stint has opened the door for another loan move to occur should circumstances align.
Arne Slot wants to evaluate some of his youngsters in Liverpool's upcoming tour of Asia. However, Danns, who has previously been labelled "brilliant" by Marc Albrighton, could be made 'surplus to requirements' by the Dutchman, leaving him free to find a new environment on a year-long basis.
Although he wouldn't be viewed as a first-choice through the middle, it is understood that the Liverpool-born star could be viewed as an inexpensive solution to strengthen the Black Cats' forward ranks behind Wilson Isidor and Eliezer Mayenda, which could be a viable solution for all parties involved.
