Sunderland weigh up offers to Swedish teenage duo

Sunderland are weighing up dealing in two Swedish youngsters.

The Sunday Sun says forward Robert Mirosavic and midfielder Linus Sjoberg fly home today after a week training on Wearside.

And the Black Cats are now weighing up deals to bring the pair to England on a permanent basis.

Sweden Under 17 skipper Mirosavic is regarded as a future star in his homeland, scoring 52 goals in 45 games for his club Helsingborgs' youth sides last season.

Sjoberg made a big impression during a fortnight's trial at Manchester United two years ago but the 17-year-old has so far stayed with Swedish side Vasteras, where he has graduated to the first team and scored three goals in 31 games.
