Sunderland goalkeeper Matty Young is wanted by a host of National League and Football League clubs, as per James Copley.
Sunderland are preparing for another year in the Championship next season
The 2024/25 campaign will be the Black Cats’ third season back in the second tier. Their first season saw a top six finish, but last year was a dismal campaign.
Tony Mowbray, Michael Beale and Mike Dodds all played their part in Sunderland finishing 16th and it seems the hangover is continuing.
Young, 17, wasn’t involved though. He spent part of last season on loan with Darlington in the National League North. His top performances helped the club survive relegation.
The teenage shot stopper made 14 appearances whilst on loan, conceding just 13 and keeping 5 clean sheets.
He returns to Sunderland this summer with his stock high and Copley reports almost every National League club is keeping tabs on Young with a few in League One and League Two also.
The goalkeeper position at Sunderland is one in the spotlight at the moment.
Alex Bass has just joined Notts County on a permanent basis and number one Anthony Patterson has been linked with Manchester City.
However, it seems unlikely Patterson will go to City this summer. It is more likely Young leaves on loan again.
