2 Sunderland players who may be looking for a move away this summer and why

The top end of the table is looking close as it stands with just five points currently between Sunderland and fourth place Oxford United. However, if Sunderland want to be competing in the playoffs come the end of the season, they have to start picking up some important three points especially Sheffield Wednesday currently have a game in hand over them.

The league which Sunderland find themselves in next season could have an impact on which players we might see in red and white next season.
