Transfer Talk: Sunderland in talks with Gino Peruzzi
@Sunderlandafc11
Velez Sarsfield’s Gino Peruzzi is attracting interest from Sunderland according to reports.
The 21-year old right-back has emerged as a summer target for the Black Cats but insists he is only focused on the Argentine league final against Newell’s Old Boys this weekend.
"My mind is set on Newell's, and then we will see,” said Peruzzi, who is the cousin of former Italy international Angelo.
Peruzzi is being heavily linked with a summer exit with Paolo Di Canio’s side waiting in the wings.
Peruzzi has been a target for Manchester City recently but their pursuit of other targets has allowed Roberto De Fanti to step in for Sunderland and he now hopes to conclude a £5million deal.
