The Black Cats have so far only managed to sign Carlos Cuellar on a free transfer and will head out on their pre-season tour to South Korea on Monday with just a solitary new face.

However, O'Neill admits to having a few irons in the fire which he hopes will come to fruition in the coming weeks.

"I have made one or two enquiries, but I have not progressed anything greatly at this moment," he told the Sunderland Echo.

"That's the best way of saying it. It's early. We've just been back a day or two and I've got a couple of things floating around in my mind.

"I haven't done anything definite. I've made the enquiries and said to people, keep us informed. But now I will start to develop things a bit more.

"I'm hoping the players that I'm interested in will be attracting the interest of other teams as well. If there's nobody interested in them, then you worry!
