Sunderland's new manager Jack Ross is eyeing a raid on his former club St Mirren to bring in two players.

According to The Mirror's Live Transfer Blog [Saturday 26th May, 15:07], Ross wants to sign Gavin Reilly.

And he is also keen on bringing Kyle Magennis to Sunderland in a £1m move, according to The Scottish Sun.

Reilly is an impressive striker who was key to Ross' success in getting St Mirren promoted to the Scottish Premiership.

The 25-year-old, formerly of Queen of the South and Hearts, scored an impressive 22 goals in 44 games to fire St Mirren to promotion and his contract expires this summer.

After being named in the Scottish Championship Team of the Year, Sunderland are hoping to bring him in on the cheap.

Meanwhile, Scotland under-20 international Magennis is on Sunderland's radar, too.

The 19-year-old is very highly rated in Scotland and he started 25 games last season, turning in some dominant midfield displays and scoring twice.

Also on Sunderland's radar this summer is John McGinn.

The 23-year-old Scotland international has previously been linked with moves to Celtic, Rangers, Bournemouth, Brighton and others but Ross is hoping to lure him to The Stadium of Light for their League One campaign.

The Verdict

If Sunderland could get McGinn, that would be a real statement of intent.

But whether Reilly and Magennis can adapt from Scottish Championship football to League One game time is a different question.

Reilly's goal scoring exploits have been impressive and Magennis is held with high regard so perhaps Ross can get the best out of them at Sunderland.
