Sunderland have cooled their interest in Liverpool's David Ngog after completing the signing of Connor Wickham, according to the Sunderland Echo.
The French striker was reported to have been a transfer target for manager Steve Bruce and was originally considered part of the deal that took Jordan Henderson to Anfield.
This ultimately was not the case, but the two clubs did agree a £3 million fee for the player, though his representatives wanted to slow down the pace of talks.
Now the Sunderland Echo is reporting that Ngog may have missed out on the opportunity to reboot his faltering career on Wearside as the club has increased their attacking options.
Wickham signed for a reported £8m from Ipswich Town, beating Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish to the signature of the young forward.
A deal for Chunnam Dragon’s forward Ji Dong-Won is set to be confirmed soon, giving Bruce further options besides Fraizer Campbell and Asamoah Gyan, and it is believed that the manager is no longer interested in Ngog.
