Sunderland aims to re-sign Dion Sanderson for Championship season

Sunderland is reportedly pursuing a deal to re-sign defender Dion Sanderson as they return to the Championship after promotion. Sanderson has been identified as the club’s top defensive target following a successful loan spell with Sunderland in the 2020-21 season. Despite this interest, sources indicate that Wolverhampton Wanderers, Sanderson's parent club, has also extended his contract, and other clubs like Sheffield United are keen to secure his services. Sunderland is prepared for a competitive battle for the young defender's signature, whether through a loan or permanent transfer. Sanderson enjoyed his time at Sunderland, which could influence his decision on a potential move back to the club.
