Alex Neil wants to bring in 'one or two' players to provide cover and competition for Ross Stewart before the season kicks-off - but admits the timing of some deals may not be within Sunderland's control. Stewart remains the Black Cats' only senior specialist number nine, although Neil does have other options up front such as pressing players such as Jack Clarke or Leon Dajaku into advanced positions.
Alex Neil praised new signing Aji Alese after the young defender made his Sunderland debut in today's 2-0 pre-season win at Dundee United. Alese joined the Black Cats from West Ham yesterday, and was included on the bench for the trip to Tannadice.
Trai Hume's header and a comedy own-goal saw Sunderland see off their former manager Jack Ross' Dundee United side to clock up their first win of pre-season. The Black Cats, who saw their game against Rangers in Portugal abandoned at half-time due to a powercut when they were leading 1-0, and then lost against Roma in midweek, returned to the UK and earned a convincing victory at Tannadice Park.

Sunderland saw a number of players join the Wearside club during the previous summer and winter transfer windows as the Black Cats made their way back to the Championship.
