Sunderland boss Bruce planning two major summer signings

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce hopes to make two major signings this summer.

Bruce is yet to discuss his summer transfer budget with club owner Ellis Short.

Bruce said: “We haven’t sat down to talk about transfer budgets just yet - there’s still work to be done this season.

“The owner has been fantastic for the club and has put a lot of money in already, but there are still changes I want to make to the squad.

“I want to make two big signings this summer. Once we get the squad numbers right it is a case of topping up what we have with a couple of quality signings each summer.”
