Premier League<\/a> trio Leeds United<\/a>, Sunderland and Fulham have now joined the race to sign a \u00a317m “star” this summer.<\/p>\n

It was a successful first season back in the big time for Leeds and Sunderland, with both sides managing to avoid relegation from the Premier League, which had to be the main aim, after being promoted from the Championship the previous season.<\/p>\n

In fact, the Black Cats surpassed all expectations and managed to qualify for the Europa League, booking their place in the competition by winning their final two Premier League matches.<\/p>\n

Fulham, on the other hand, are now an established Premier League club, with former manager Marco Silva stabilising them in the top flight over the course of the last four seasons.<\/p>\n

However, with the 48-year-old returning to his native country and joining Benfica, there is an air of uncertainty heading into the summer, particularly considering they are yet to appoint a permanent successor.<\/p>\n

One thing that is clear is all three sides are looking to bring in reinforcements this summer, and they have all entered the race for a defender.<\/p>\n
