Sunderland have been joined by League One rivals Ipswich Town in the race to make a summer move for Danny Graham.

As Black Cats boss Phil Parkinson looks to bounce back following a poor league finish in the League One table and a failure to gain promotion to the Championship, numerous transfer rumours are starting to emerge.

One area in particular that Parkinson could look to improve is in attack having seen the likes of Charlie Wyke and Will Grigg struggle to find the back of the net on a consistent basis last season.

Linked with a potential move for Sydney FC striker Adam Le Fondre, the Wearsiders are also looking towards former Watford, Swansea, and Blackburn man Graham.

Graham, valued at £428,000 by Transfermarkt, is available on a free transfer having recently left Blackburn, ending a four-and-a-half year stay at Ewood Park.

Joining Sunderland with interest in the 34-year-old striker are Ipswich, who like Sunderland, will be keen to improve on missing out on the chance to gain promotion last term.

East Anglian Daily Times report the news, claiming Paul Lambert is keen on the striker who has amassed 169 goals during his career in English football.

Graham would be a good addition for either Sunderland or Ipswich but he may have a better offer on the table given his experience.

Deciding between Ipswich and Sunderland does not hand the striker too many differences, but what could tempt him to join either, is the task of gaining promotion.
