Danny Graham: Sunderland striker wanted on loan by Sheffield Wednesday

Sheffield Wednesday are reportedly interested in Danny Graham – one of four players Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat is ready to offload.

Will Buckley will on Friday join Leeds United on a 93-day loan, but Sunderland still have three unwanted players in the shape of Liam Bridcutt, Charis Mavrias and Valentin Roberge, according to the Sunderland Echo.

The Black Cats are said to have been in talks with an unnamed Greek club over the possibility of a January move for Mavrias, but Bridcutt’s wages are proving problematic in securing him a move to one of his suitors in the Championship.

Advocaat told the Echo: “Buckley has already gone.

“Hopefully some more will go out. As I’ve said before, I would want to play if I was in that position.”

Wednesday, meanwhile, are said to want Graham on loan and are prepared to pay his Sunderland wages in full, but Advocaat is apparently happy to keep the striker as part of his squad and so will leave the decision to the player himself.
