Fresh striker link

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill is being linked with a summer swoop for Wolves striker Steven Fletcher.

It is the second Wolves player in as many days to be linked with as move to the north east, Monday saw Karl Henry linked, as the men from the Black Country stare relegation in the face. Top striker Fletcher has netted ten times for the strugglers this season and would be a likely sale if and when relegation is confirmed. He cost Wolves £7m from Burnley back in 2010 so they are likely to want as close to that figure for the Scotland international as they can get. O'Neill has confirmed he will be strengthening in the summer and he has also been linked with Aston Villa defender Carlos Cuellar and West Brom midfielder Keith Andrews. O'Neill said: "I'm going to have to look at ­strengthening the squad. "In the last couple of games we might be able to look at some of the younger players and see how that works out, so we have a viewpoint on them for the summertime. "But I still feel we need to strengthen."
