Sunderland among Championship teams eyeing 29-goal striker, Speakman already likes him

Sunderland have been mentioned alongside a prolific attacker in the English Football League.
The summer transfer window is now officially open. But for Sunderland, the ongoing search for a new manager will surely impact upon the club’s summer transfer business.
Sunderland are nearly four months without a manager and continue to see linked names fall out of contention.
Liam Rosenior is the latest, joining Will Still and others in pursuing other opportunities, if not landing an entirely new job in itself.
Sunderland fans are venting their frustration at Kristjaan Speakman amid the ongoing managerial fiasco; the club’s sporting director has been in place for three-and-a-half years and has earned praise in the past.
But the managerial saga and the last few transfer windows, in which the club has failed to sign a much-needed striker, has brought Speakman under the spotlight.
Despite not having a manager in place, though, it looks like Speakman has now added a potential striker signing to his wishlist.
Sunderland linked with Macaulay Langstaff at Notts County
Journalist Darren Witcoop says that Notts County striker Macaulay Langstaff, who scored 29 goals in all competitions for Notts County last season, has ‘admirers’ in the Championship.
Witcoop links Sunderland in the post, naming Swansea City as one of the teams ‘watching developments’ this summer.
Langstaff, 27, has been linked with Sunderland in the past. He was heavily linked with a move away from Notts County in January but Witcoop said that Championship clubs were unsure if he could make the step up from League Two.
Notts County finished in 14th place of the League Two table last season, but Langstaff claimed the Golden Boot award with 28 league goals and five assists.
