Sunderland defender Bryan Oviedo has been linked with a summer move to Belgian giants Club Brugge.

The Blauw-Zart have a long held interest in the 29-year-old and have been linked with a move in each of the last two transfer windows.

And The Northern Echo report that Club Brugge are ready to rekindle their interest in Sunderland left-back Bryan Oviedo.

Sunderland are keen to trim their wage bill and Oviedo is likely to leave the Black Cats this summer given his high wages and the fact his contract expires next year.

The Belgian side can offer Oviedo European football after finishing second in the Belgian Pro League last season and would like Oviedo in place by early August when they begin their Champions League qualifiying campaign.

The former Everton defender found himself in and out of the Sunderland team throughout this campaign and saw a January deadline day loan move to West Brom fall through at the eleventh hour.

A couple of niggling issues also affected Oviedo's season but despite competition from both Denver Hume and Reece James, the 29-year-old ended the campaign as the Black Cats' first choice left-back.

He is currently in Costa Rica preparing to represent his country in the CONCACAF Gold Cup and he will hope to impress while performing in the shop window.
