Coral’s Rumour Reel: Sunderland seeking Red Devils starlet?

In a thrilling UEFA Super Cup encounter, Barcelona were handed a 5-4 victory thanks to a last-gasp extra-time winner from Manchester United target Pedro, crowning off possibly the fairy-tale ending to his Catalan career.

Although, the Spain international’s potential switch to Old Trafford could cause a domino effect, as Dick Advocaat’s Sunderland seek the signature of Adnan Januzaj, once a deal for Pedro has been agreed.

Belgium international wideman Januzaj may find himself slipping further down the pecking order if Pedro arrives, but the Black Cats could seek a season-long deal for the 20-year-old, with the Wearside outfit 3/1 with Coral to finish bottom this term.

Staying on the red half of Manchester, attacking misfit Javier Hernandez could soon be on his way to Serie A club Torino, form which United bought full back Matteo Darmian this summer, as he searches for first-team action.

Meanwhile, Tim Sherwood’s Aston Villa are close to agreeing a £12m fee for Barcelona prospect Adama Traore, who was previously linked to Liverpool and Stoke City, with the 19-year-old winger keen on such a switch.

In the capital, Arsenal have been dealt a major blow in their reported attempts to capture Schalke starlet Julian Draxler this summer, with the Bundesliga outfit claiming it would take an “astronomical offer” to sign the 21-year-old attacker.

However, Arsene Wenger’s Gunners are reportedly considering a £22m bid for 25-year-old Sevilla midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak.
