Lois Openda continues to draw interest from Premier League clubs. After Aston Villa linked with the striker earlier this week, Sky report Sunderland are now showing interest as they added his name to their shortlist.

However, Sky added that it won’t be an easy negotiation, as Leipzig could hesitate in leaving another key player, with Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko in discussions with Premier League clubs.

The duo are out of Leipzig’s squad for today’s friendly against Atalanta. Meanwhile, Openda opened the score at the RedBull Arena with a brilliant strike. The Belgian striker scored 33 Bundesliga goals in the past two seasons.
