Leeds United have made Sunderland winger Will Buckley a summer transfer target, according to reports.
The 25-year-old joined the Black Cats last year from Brighton & Hove Albion, but his move has yet to work out as he made just nine Premier League starts.
Manager Dick Advocaat is prepared to let him leave in this window and Leeds are one of several Championship clubs in the hunt, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
The report claims that Sunderland are not interested in sanctioning a loan deal and are seeking in the region of £1.5m
The Englishman cost them £2.5m 12 months ago.
