Sunderland looking to sign Ricardo Fuller
Short term £3m replacement for Darren Bent
SEARCHING for a replacement for striker Darren Bent, Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has opened talks with Stoke City to sign Reggae Boy Ricardo Fuller for £3 million, reports the Daily Mail newspaper.
Sunderland are reportedly looking at Fuller as a short term option before investing more of the £24 million they received from the transfer of Darren Bent to fellow English Premier League Club Aston Villa.
The Mail speculated that Fuller would be “an ideal solution before the end of the season and would allow Bruce to pursue bigger targets in the summer.”
Fuller has scored three goals in 23 appearances for Stoke this season.
