Sunderland and several of their Championship rivals have been linked with a deal for Luton Town striker John McAtee.
Sunderland signed four strikers during last summer’s window: Elizier Mayenda, Luis Hemir Semedo, Mason Burstow and Nazairy Rusyn. However, the quartet have only fired home one goal between them in the first half of the season.

The striker has netted nine times for The Tykes so far this season and has also chipped in three assists with his parent club Luton thought to be keen to see what their man can do at a higher level.
Speculation is rife that The Hatters will cut short McAtee’s loan at Barnsley early given the interest from Championship clubs.
