Sunderland are the latest side to be linked with Dinamo Kyiv star Vladyslav Vanat

Sunderland have a huge game to prepare for this weekend as they take on Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final. The outcome of that game will heavily dictate how the summer goes for SAFC.

Regis Le Bris, his coaches and the players will be fully focused on the task at hand on Saturday afternoon.

However, the relevant recruitment staff at the Stadium of Light will have continued their summer transfer plans. The club are likely planning for two outcomes: promotion to the Premier League, or a Championship stay.

Now though, it has been claimed that one player on the Sunderland radar is Dynamo Kyiv star Vladyslav Vanat.
