Dominic Calvert-Lewin's exit from Everton was confirmed on Sunday, with Sunderland emerging as a potential landing spot.

Sunderland's transfer window had a remarkably slow start, though things have started to accelerate massively over the last few days.

Kristjaan Speakman has been hard at work, and with deals for Habib Diarra and Reinildo imminent, the Black Cats are making some serious moves.

With that said, several other players have been linked with some big-money moves to the Stadium of Light, though the next one could cost them very little, after the latest update from Merseyside.

Regis Le Bris needs backing this summer

Sunderland are in need of several new arrivals this summer if they are to find a way to bridge the gap to the teams who will be fighting against relegation alongside them.

With a handful of players set to leave at the end of their contracts, several Premier League clubs will look to take the opportunity to snap up some new talent on a free, with many looking to do that with Calvert-Lewin.

The 28-year-old will leave Everton and has been touted for an instant return to the Premier League by many, with Sunderland in the running.

Via Bet365 (29 June), a move to Man United is deemed the most likely outcome at 6/1, with a move to Sunderland priced at 20/1 - the same as Rangers.

Premier League experience will be crucial for Sunderland

Diarra, Renildo, and Armand Lauriente would all be great signings, though without an experienced Premier League figure alongside them, it would be a huge risk.

Undoubtedly, Sunderland will be aware of that, with the free agent market likely to be somewhere that they look to add experience to their squad.

These next few weeks are certainly going to be exciting, with a handful of new additions expected.
