Sunderland interested in John Ruddy

Ruddy is approaching the final stages of his career. However, there is n🧔o reason why he cannot continue for a number of years yet.

With that in mind, it appears to be something of a no-b🅠rainer for the Black Cats to make a move. On a free transfer, it could prove to ꩲbe a fantastic piece of business.

He has won promotion from the Championship on three different occasions. And Sunderland are one club who have the potential to make their sta🌊y in the second tier a brief one if they get everything right.

Ruddy meanwhile, would surely relish the chance 🎀to be reunited with Neil. Sunderland are a massive club who could offer him the opportunity to play regularly again.
