Sunderland are the latest team to be linked with a swoop for Jamie O’Hara in the summer, should they win their battle to survive relegation this season.

O’Hara has impressed on loan at Portsmouth this season, although a permanent move looks unlikely as the South Coast outfit seemed doomed for the drop.

Newcastle have also been credited with an interest, whilst Harry Redknapp has said that the midfielder still has a future at White Hart Lane.

O’Hara wants first-team football however, so could engineer a move away in the summer in order to secure it.

Manager Steve Bruce has also expressed an interest in making Alan Hutton’s loan move permanent after he impressed since joining in January.
