Sunderland goalkeeper set for new contract talks

A bit of interesting news from Sunderland today, and it's fair to say that there hasn't been much of that around the Stadium of Light so far this season.

The rather underrated Simon Mignolet is according to the Mirror set to discuss terms for an extension to his contract. The Belgian has been quietly excellent ever since he replaced the laughably termed "most expensive goalkeeper in Britain" Craig Gordon in the Black Cats' first-team back in 2010.

Rumours abouns that with their goalkeeping troubles, Manchester United are just one of the teams interested in Mignolet and quite rightly so, considering just how consistent he has been, certainly compared to David De Gea!
