"I’ve not heard of any inquiries come directly into the club for him, and I’d be lying if I said they would be welcome. We want Jack here playing for a strong Sunderland team and trying to see out what we are trying to do this season. I’ve been super impressed by him."

On the club's hunt for a striker, Beale added: "We are being linked with every no.9 that’s breathing.

"We are looking for the right no.9 to come and fit in. He has to fit into our budget, and he has to be motivated to help us. We are also looking at a couple of other positions as well. We are busy in the background."

Hibernian have taken Brazilian attacker Adryan to their Dubai training camp.

The 29-year-old - who played for Leeds United on loan during the 2014/15 season - is out of contract after leaving Brescia last year.

Head coach Nick Montgomery is assessing options to strengthen his squad this month, with the former Brazil U20 player getting a chance to impress.

Tranmere Rovers have reached an agreement with Blackpool to extend the loan spell of Rob Apter until the end of the 2023/24 season.

The 20-year-old has made a total of 21 appearances for Rovers so far this term, scoring five goals and assisting twice.

Manager Nigel Adkins said: "We're delighted to have Robbie Apter back with Tranmere Rovers until the end of the season. 

"His efforts towards our performances in the first half of the season were huge, and we're very happy to have reached an agreement

to extend his stay here at Prenton Park."
