The Swedish international has been linked has been linked with a move to the Stadium of Light ever since it became apparent Mignolet would leave. The shot-stopper only has one year remaining on his contract in Holland meaning he could move for a knock-down fee, with reports suggesting an offer of £2 million would be enough to land his services. It is thought that his current club are trying to tie him down to a new deal, but the 24-year-old would prefer a move to Sunderland and the Premier League rather than extending his stay in the Netherlands. After playing for his country at U19 and U21 level, Nordfeldt broke into the senior set-up at international level and has been capped twice by Sweden. Ajax, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Hannover, Heerenveen and Sampdoria have all expressed an interest in the youngster in the past meaning Di Canio could face competition in landing his signature.
