Sunderland want to strike contract deal with 20-year-old
Sunderland are keen to tie up a new deal for Caden Kelly, according to reporter Alan Nixon on his Patreon page.
Sunderland want to secure the long-term future of the midfielder as they prepare for the start of the new Championship season. They have turned to Regis Le Bris as their new manager after an extensive search for a permanent replacement for Michael Beale.
Kelly, 20, has been on the books at the Stadium of Light since 2020 and penned his first professional contract with the North East outfit two years ago which ran until this summer. However, his current club announced on their retained list recently that they have exercised their option to retain his services.
In this latest update regarding his situation, journalist Nixon has claimed on Patreon that the Black Cats want to strike a fresh agreement with him. The same source has claimed recently that National League side FC Halifax Town are admirers and want him on loan.
