Hammer poised for Sunderland loan
Sunderland boss Lee Johnson is looking to bolster his defensive options before the end of the window.
The Roker Report claims Frederik Alves looks set to seal a move to the Stadium of Light.
It is said that the 21-year-old centre-back is set to leave West Ham to join the Black Cats on loan in a season-long deal.
Alves joined the Hammers back in January, with David Moyes spending a little over £1m on the player. He has been in and around the club’s first-team in pre-season but looks set for a stint in League One as he looks to gain more senior experience.
Despite being only 21, the Danish-Brazilian defender made an impressive 50 senior appearances for former club Silkeborg IF before joining West Ham.
He is still waiting on his competitive debut for the Hammers, with his game time with the club coming for their U23s.
