Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion have joined the race to secure the services of in-demand Terek Grozny star Maciej Rybus.

Hull City and Swansea City were said to have been in a two-way tussle to win the affections of Rybus but now according to Goal.com, it has been claimed that Sunderland and West Brom have joined the race to sign the winger.

The heightened interest in Rybus, who is also being linked with Leicester City, has been due to the fact that he has expressed his desire to leave Terek Grozny this summer and with only 12 months remaining on his current deal, the Russian side are keen on cashing in this summer rather than losing the 25-year old for free.
