Sunderland Transfers: 5 Defenders Dick Advocaat Could Sign Today

4. Sam Byram (Leeds)

Dick Advocaat favours attack-minded full backs, and with this in mind, Sam Byram could potentially be the perfect fit. The Leeds youngster has garnered considerable attention over the course of three seasons in the Championship, demonstrating his pace, stamina, and exciting ability. The 21 year old was linked with Liverpool earlier this year, according to the Daily Star, and has been likened to Gareth Bale for his general style of play. He is always keen to get on the ball, and could be seen as immediate competition to the unconvincing right back pair of Billy Jones and Adam Matthews despite his relative inexperience. The fact that Byram is currently the longest-serving first team regular in Leeds' squad, despite his youth, speaks volumes about his professionalism and potential.
