# Sunderland chasing Ozan Tufan

According to [The Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/sunderland-afc-transfers-black-cats-11520378), Sunderland are keen to sign Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan this summer.

Sunderland are joined by [Manchester United](https://readmanutd.com/), Southampton and [Everton](https://readeverton.com/) in their interest in the midfielder.

Tufan has attracted the attention of [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) club’s following his impressive displays for Turkey at the European Championships this summer. Tufan recently scored at the Euros, scoring in a 2-0 win against the Czech Republic.

The 21-year-old central midfielder has already been capped 27 times by his country, showing how highly rated he is in European football. Now, it looks like he could have the chance to prove himself in the best league in the world; the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/).

Tufan does still have four years left on his current Fenerbahce contract. This means it will take a sizable fee to prize him away from Turkey. Sunderland will have to act quickly to beat the other clubs interested in the promising midfielder. The odds suggest there’s money to be made too, especially with a [promo code](https://all-bonus-codes.co.uk/).

Sam Allardyce is keen to bring in quality to avoid another relegation battle next season.
