William Storey makes bold Sunderland takeover pledge to splash £50m on new additions as he says he has already identified FOUR big-name Premier League stars he could sign

Potential Sunderland owner William Storey has made a bold pledge to spend a minimum of £50million on new players and staff in an ambitious plan to get the club back into the top-flight - and says he has identified four big-name Premier League stars he could sign.

The controversial Rich Energy drinks founder threw his hat in the ring to buy out League One club owner Stewart Donald out of the blue last week.

Donald is desperate to sell the £37.6million he paid Ellis Short in 2018 and Storey and another unknown party have expressed interest in making an offer.
