Transfer gossip: Sunderland man set for £100k Tony Mowbray reunion after Stoke City drama
The latest on Alex Pritchard’s situation with the attacker closing in on a move to Birmingham City.
Sunderland attacking midfielder Alex Pritchard is close to joining Birmingham City, according to several reports.
The former Huddersfield Town and Norwich City man signed for Sunderland while the club were in League One and is entering the last six months of his present deal. Sunderland were said to be open to Pritchard leaving during last summer’s window but no bid materialised and he ended up staying put at the Academy of Light.
The attacking midfielder then broke back into Sunderland’s team during the current season and was offered a one-year extension to stay on Wearside, which has been rejected with the player seeking long-term security.
