Reports coming out of Turkey that Sunderland have had a bid for French Senegalese Moussa Sow rejected.
Sunderland have been heavily linked with the striker since the beginning of the transfer window, although more recently London team West Ham have also shown interest.
Sow claims to be happy playing for Turkish side Fenerbahce, having still got a year left on his current contract, but has also stated his dream to play in the English Premier League.
Newspaper reports have suggested West Ham’s new boss Slaven Bilic is willing to splash out 17 million for the striker’s services, if that’s true or if any of its true Sunderland will certainly have to up there stakes too.
