Sunderland in hunt for centre-back and striker

With Régis Le Bris looking to add more quality to his squad during what has become a hugely-ambitious summer rebuild, the next few days will determine whether he has been successful.

According to FootMercato, the Black Cats are actively trying to convince West Ham centre-back Nayef Aguerd to join their Premier League project.

The 29-year-old Morocco international is also attracting interest from Marseille, AC Milan and AS Roma, making the race for his signature highly competitive.

Aguerd returned to West Ham this summer after a loan spell at Real Sociedad and has featured in both of the Hammers' opening league defeats against Chelsea and Sunderland as the Hammers have got off to a woeful start to the campaign.

Sunderland are reportedly ready to lure him to Wearside, but West Ham's stance on his future remains unclear.
