Free agent Cheikh M'Bengue reveals Sunderland, Newcastle contact

Senegal left-back Cheikh M'Bengue admits he's heard from Sunderland about next season.

The 27-year-old is out of contract after leaving Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennais and is available on a free transfer.

M'Bengue said: "It is true that I have a little attraction to the English league and the German championship.

"But there is also the reality of the market, supply and demand. I'm not focused on these championships. If I have something that fits me where the offer is interesting, why not ... I am open to many things.

"Many clubs have approached me. Saint-Etienne asked me. There is also Sunderland, clubs in Turkey, Newcastle. I will leave it a little time but not too much."
