Sounds like this deal is on hold. From what I've heard though Sunderland have other striker targets that we are looking at and working on. It seems like Mendy is just one of many options. Let's hope we can get an experienced CF in the door soon! #SAFC

Very good coup for SAFC. He was the captain of the u19’s at Leipzig and was linked with quite a few big clubs. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the young defensive midfielder break through into the first team this season! #SAFC

As per (Michael Graham ) Elliot Embleton is set to sign for Blackpool on a free transfer and is set to sign a two-year deal at the club. The midfielder is currently having his medical and should sign soon. Good move for Embo as he needs to find somewhere to play. #SAFC

UPDATE - it has been confirmed by James Copley that these rumours ARE NOT TRUE. this is a shame because the poster who the rumours originated from is usually very reliable. #SAFC
