AS Roma full back Angelino has emerged as an ambitious transfer target for Sunderland.

Italian reporter Gianluigi Longari from Sport Italia say the Black Cats are eyeing a move for the 28-year-old, who is expected to depart the Serie A club this summer.

The full back positions are known to be one of Sunderland’s key priorities this summer as they look to build their squad depth for the challenge of a Premier League campaign, and that has brought Angelino to their attention.

However, there is also known to be interest from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, who were at one stage close to a deal for the Spaniard. Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have also been linked with the full back, who made 51 appearances across all competition for AS Roma last season.
