Sunderland Transfers: 11 Players They Must Sign This Summer

8. Matt Phillips - QPR

Kevin Phillips was signed by Peter Reid after terrorising Sunderland as a Watford player. The boss took note and brought him in without hesitation. If the Black Cats were to follow the same pattern this summer, they'd surely look no further than recently-relegated winger Matt Phillips. The Scotland international dominated both fixtures against Sunderland this season, helping an otherwise weak QPR side to an unlikely double. Quick, strong, and capable of the occasional top-corner rocket, Phillips would be a welcome (if risky) addition to a team sorely lacking in midfield pace.
