Sunderland are looking to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes.

The club is in the market for a forward and has identified a promising talent from a top Premier League club.

The Black Cats are hoping to bring this player on loan to help boost their attacking options for the rest of the season.

Sunderland has been working hard to secure this deal, even though they are not the only club interested in the player.

Sunderland looking to sign Liverpool striker

According to a report from The Northern Echo, Sunderland’s target is Liverpool striker Jayden Danns.

The 18-year-old, who has been with Liverpool since he was eight, is now a key figure in the club’s youth setup.

He made his Premier League debut last year and featured in the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea.

Despite this, Danns has not played in Liverpool’s recent matches and is now the subject of loan interest from several clubs.

Sunderland hopes their track record of developing young players will be a factor in convincing Liverpool to send Danns to the Stadium of Light.

With Blackburn Rovers and other Championship clubs also interested, Sunderland will need to move quickly if they are to secure the deal before the transfer deadline.
