Sunderland have made an impressive start to their Premier League campaign, but they face crucial decisions regarding the futures of several first-team players.

In every year since he arrived, Panarin has led the Rangers in scoring and has been one of the most dynamic players in the NHL. No one is denying the offensive capabilities of Panarin, he shows it every single year.

" If something comes up to [president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom] that makes a lot of sense for him and the organization, and it makes sense for me and my future, how about we talk about that?"

I would love that, he said. From everything that I know, again he's a player that is extremely happy and proud to be [here] and to have the role that he has in the football club. He's been developing in a natural way like they always do. Everyone knows how important Bukayo is for us so hopefully we can do it.

When the team sheets were distributed at Villa Park on Sunday evening, 25 hours and change before the transfer deadline, there were two noteworthy selections. The first was Aston Villa goalkeeper Marco Bizot. The 34-year-old was named in Unai Emery's starting line-up for the second time in three Premier League matches, this time because Emiliano Martinez was deemed too distracted by a possible move to Manchester United.
