Sunderland are preparing for a double exit this month, and the likes of Dan Neil and Arthur Masuaku could be on their way out of the club.

According to a report via the Sunderland Echo, Neil has been left out of the squad ahead of the Premier League match against West Ham United due to speculation surrounding his future.

Several outfits are interested in signing the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. The midfielder is no longer a key player for Sunderland, and it would make sense for him to move on and join a club where he can play regularly.

It remains to be seen whether Sunderland can get rid of both players before the window closes.

They have done quite well in the Premier League this season, and they will look to finish in the top half of the table. They need to further improve the squad, and getting rid of fringe players could help them bring in fresh talent.

Meanwhile, the two players will look to get their careers back on track, and the move would be ideal for them. It remains to be seen where they end up eventually.
