Steve Bruce has revealed that Sunderland pair Matthew Kilgallon and Nyron Nosworthy have emerged as targets for Championship clubs.
After a busy summer in which the Black Cats have signed ten new players, Bruce is aware that some need to make way for the arrivals and suggests the only two who could leave the Stadium of Light are the aforementioned defensive pairing.
"Kilgallon and Nosworthy are the only two and there's a bit of interest from a couple of Championship clubs," Bruce told reporters.
"We will see what develops over the next week or two. But certainly, they are the only two, I would think, we are looking to let go."
