Sunderland are facing a potentially transformative summer transfer window as they prepare for their big return to the Premier League.

Speculation over which players could arrive at the Stadium of Light had already started before the Black Cats brought an end to their eight-year absence from the top flight with a 2-1 win over Sheffield

1. United in the Championship play-off final.

It is expected the Black Cats will confirmed Enzo Le Fee’s loan move from Serie A club Roma will be converted into a permanent switch after a promotion clause in the initial agreement was activated by the Wembley win. A defender, winger and striker could also be on the agenda as Sunderland prepare to face the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Newcastle United in the Premier League next season.
