Sunderland Association Football Club are a more widely followed team than many people realise. Support for sides in the North East of England is generally extremely staunch and steadfast. And the Black Cats fan base is no different in that sense.
So, today we have some potentially significant incoming signing details for SAFC. In addition to that, we also give Leicester City's Blue Army faithful updates on three of their own. Well, that includes two recently departed Foxes.
While Sunderland receive Leicester transfer news on a defender, the King Power outfit are said to be eyeing the next Jamie Vardy-esque striker. The East Midlanders will do well to ever find anyone even remotely close to Vardy's level of quality, fitness and intensity.
Furthermore, a now ex-Leicester goalkeeper has agreed a move to one of City's new Championship rivals. Will the person in question be playing against the Foxes next season? Let's waste no time and get down to LCFC business with information on three players past and current.

Danny Ward was once known as Leicester's penalty-saving expert; only really being deployed in the fairly lesser tournaments. He's now back in his native Wales with the Red Dragons. His services won't be missed on Filbert Way.
Foxes eye the NEXT Jamie Vardy
Speaking of the Hollywood-backed side, they are reportedly 'battling' the Foxes for a media-friendly signing. The 'next Jamie Vardy' is certainly wanted at the King Power either way you look at it.
But a centre forward with similar attributes to the retired England international could be ideal for LCFC. Jayden Carbon is 19 years old and plays for Oxford City. Last season, he was the National League North's top-scoring teenager.

A word to the wise for the Lads up north: Victor Kristiansen is hugely overrated. Your right flank will be in trouble, whilst offering minimal forward threat if he becomes your first-choice left back. Nevertheless, here's the report:
"As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio (via Last Word on Sports), Sunderland have a genuine interest in Kristiansen."Caught Offside
