Sunderland have moved early so far in the transfer market as Tony Mowbray prepared a squad to challenge for Championship promotion next season.
The Black Cats secured a place in the play-off last season but came undone to a confident Luton Town side, who would eventually beat Coventry City to leap into the top flight.
Jobe Bellingham and Jason Seelt will excite Sunderland fans hoping for a promotion campaign next season but there will still be hope for more new names through the doors at the Stadium of Light.
There are some real talents available on a free transfer this summer with Championship experience to their name. The Sunderland Echo looks at 21 of the best Championship free agents according to their Transfermarkt market value.
