Sunderland boss Poyet hints at bid for Brighton winger Buckley

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has hinted they're chasing Brighton winger Will Buckley.

Sunderland failed in a bid to prize Buckley away from the Seagulls in January and the 24-year-old is known to Poyet having played under him at the AMEX Stadium.

Poyet said: "Too many things going on and it is difficult to comment on every single one.

"Of course there are a few we know better - in terms of Buckley I know better because we had him at Brighton.

"But sometimes it is unfair, you comment on players and say names, I say if I'm interested or not and then it doesn't happen."
