Southampton striker Sam Gallagher is being considered by Aston Villa, Sunderland, Wolves and Cardiff City.

Gallagher, who is 6ft 4ins tall, has scored 12 goals this season including a vital one against rivals Bristol City last Monday where he was watched by Sunderland manager David Moyes.


Sunderland boss Moyes also used the opportunity to check on Bristol City forward Tammy Abraham. 

The highly-rated 19-year-old is on loan from Chelsea but is also a potential target for Leicester City and Everton this summer.
