Sunderland, Newcastle and Fenerbahce monitor Wan-Bissaka

Sunderland, Newcastle and Fenerbahce have joined the clubs reported to be monitoring Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

The Sunderland Echo, quoted by Claret&Hugh, names all three alongside Everton and Fulham. Monitoring is the only activity reported for the new clubs. No approach, talks, bid, personal terms or agreement involving Sunderland, Newcastle or Fenerbahce is reported.

The article separately repeats the claim that Everton are the most advanced suitor and that West Ham could seek £15m-£20m. Everton’s pursuit remains disputed by the Liverpool Echo.
