Three options to Sam Tickle Amid ties to Wigan Athletic goalkeeper, Sunderland should think about

Source Alan Nixon on his Patreon page claims that Sunderland has been connected to a move for Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Sam Tickle.
This summer at the Championship, Sunderland might attempt to entice the stopper.

Tickle, 22, has drawn attention while competing for the Latics in League One this year.

Here are three other ideas the Black Cats might want to think about.

Matej Kovar Bayern Leverkusen pounced to recruit him from Manchester United in the summer, but the Bundesliga title contenders have since employed him as a backup. Could he be enticed by the idea of playing first team football at the Stadium of Light? He would be perfect for Sunderland.

After spending five years at Old Trafford, 23-year-old Kovar was loaned out to Swindon Town, Burton Albion, and Sparta Prague in order to gain some experience. Hull City reportedly coveted him last summer, according to Nixon’s Patreon report, but HullLive put an end to the rumors.

Michael A. Cooper
If Plymouth Argyle is relegated, the Black Cats should provide him a second-tier lifeline during the upcoming transfer window. Despite his injury struggles this season, Cooper, 24, is a very good stopper with a bright future ahead of him.

He has progressed through the Pilgrims’ academy ranks and has been a member of the Home Park roster his entire career. He has made 151 appearances for them across all competitions thus far, and he was a major contributor to their promotion the previous season.

Beadle James
He is presently on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion to Sheffield Wednesday. The young player played in League One for Oxford United during the first part of this season.

He was acquired by the Seagulls from Charlton Athletic in 2022, and he has a promising future in the sport. Sunderland ought to monitor his circumstances if he is loaned away from the AMEX Stadium once again in the upcoming season.
