Sunderland's Arthur Masuaku attracts interest from Turkish club Konyaspor
Summary

Arthur Masuaku, a defender for Sunderland, is reported to be attracting interest from Konyaspor in Turkey this summer. The 32-year-old full-back, whose contract ends next season, had a disappointing loan spell at Lens, appearing in only six matches last term. With Sunderland in a position where they might lose him for free if he stays beyond this summer, it may be beneficial for the club to consider a sale. Experts suggest that allowing Masuaku to leave on a cut-price deal could provide Sunderland with resources to address other squad needs ahead of the upcoming season.
