Sunderland bid for Fuller

Stoke manager Tony Pulis claimed today that Sunderland have made a bid for striker Ricardo Fuller.

The arrival of John Carew on loan from Aston Villa has increased speculation 31-year-old Fuller could be on his way out of the Britannia Stadium, with the Black Cats on the striker hunt following the departure of Darren Bent.

Pulis said today: “Sunderland have made an offer and both clubs are talking. But it is not just Sunderland – other clubs are interested.”
