According to The Mirror, Sunderland are looking at the possibility of renewing their interest in Domagoj Vida after deciding against him in the summer.
The Croatian international was part of his nation’s side at Euro 2016 as they were knocked out by eventual winners Portugal in extra time, and the Black Cats decided against signing him around that time because of his price.
Now, though, he is reportedly available for a cheaper price and our resident Black Cats fans here in the Transfer Tavern hope they can get him with them particularly worried about the future of Lamine Kone.
The Dynamo Kiev man has been a part of the Ukrainian’s Champions League side and also has experience in the Europa League side, too, but his contract has less than two years left and that means a deal could be pushed through in January.
Sunderland won their first game of the season at the weekend against Bournemouth but are still two wins away from safety as we head into the international break.
Our landlord thinks it is essential that David Moyes adds defensive reinforcements in the January transfer window, and thinks this powerful defender could be exactly what the Mackems need to shore up their shaky defence.
Would Vida be a good signing Sunderland fans? Let us know below…..
