Sunderland defender Trai Hume has been linked with a transfer move away from the Stadium of Light.

Championship clubs Leicester City and Leeds United alongside Premier League side Burnley are among a “host of clubs” looking at the Northern Ireland international, according to TEAMtalk.

Hume started for Sunderland against Millwall last Saturday as the two clubs played out a 1-1 draw at The Den in the Championship.

 

Tony Mowbray’s team fell a goal down on the stroke of half-time when Brooke Norton-Cuffy’s cross was converted by Kevin Nisbet. Jack Clarke’s 78th-minute equaliser from the penalty spot then earned the visitors a point, following back-to-back defeats against Plymouth and Huddersfield.

Hume, however, recently signed a new contract at Sunderland until 2027, leaving the Black Cats in a good position should any bids come in for the right-back.

Despite the new deal, though, TEAMtalk have cited sources suggesting that Leicester, Burnley and Leeds are eyeing a move for the defender.
