Buy or avoid? Which of these Sunderland targets should the Black Cats press for?

We're halfway through June and Sunderland are yet to make their first moves in the summer transfer market.

While it's still early days, fans are keen to see just who manager Jack Ross will bring to the club before the new season gets under way.

There have been plenty of transfer rumours of course, with the Black Cats linked to several strikers and defenders as Ross looks to give himself more options up front and at the back.

With that in mind, we've selected some of the key names being linked with a switch to Wearside this summer to see which ones you think Ross and Co should go for.

Lawrence Shankland had an incredible goal record with Ayr United last season, but can he make the step up to Sunderland, or will Freddie Ladapo be a better option? And what about January targets John Marquis and Tom Eaves?

At the back, Sunderland have been linked with Charlton's Jason Pearce and Oxford's Curtis Nelson - would either of them fit the bill, or should they look elsewhere for potential new faces?

Have your say on the latest Black Cats targets below.
