Sunderland defender being tracked by Chelsea and five other Premier League clubs ahead of summer

Sunderland AFC’s talented left-back, is once again generating significant transfer interest as the summer transfer window approaches. The 22-year-old, who joined the club from Tottenham Hotspur in 2021 for an undisclosed fee, has established himself as a key figure in Sunderland’s first team. Despite some recent tough performances, Cirkin remains the first-choice left-back at the Stadium of Light and continues to attract attention from several clubs.

Cirkin’s impressive form this season in the Championship has not gone unnoticed. So far, he has made 31 appearances, contributing three goals and two assists. His ability to provide both defensive solidity and attacking support down the left flank has made him a standout player for Sunderland. As a result, Cirkin’s name has been linked with a number of potential suitors, including Premier League side Leeds United, who expressed interest earlier in the season.

In addition to Leeds, reports suggest that other clubs, such as Brentford, have also shown interest in the young full-back, recognizing his potential and performances in the Championship. With his contract still in place at Sunderland, the club could face pressure to make a decision on his future amid growing interest.

As the summer transfer window draws nearer, Sunderland faces a crucial decision about Cirkin’s future. The club will be hoping to retain one of their most promising talents, but with his performances catching the eye of top-flight teams, the left-back’s future could lie away from Wearside. Sunderland fans will be hoping that Cirkin can help guide the team to further success this season, as speculation surrounding his next move intensifies.
