Clinton Keen On Sunderland Move?

Morrison missed the final run-in to last season after dislocating his shoulder in the home clash with West Brom in March and having been behind other players in his pre-season training is now fully fit again but unable to regain a regular place in Steve Bruce's first team squad.

This as prompted first division clubs into enquiring into the availability of the Blues striker and Sunderland, managed by Morrisons former Republic of Ireland boss Mick McCarthy seem to be one of those clubs.

“You know what strikers are like, we just want to get on the field and show what we can do," Morrison told the Birmingham Post.

“We’re hungry to play all the games and that’s the way I am now. The manager keeps saying that I’m in his plans but I’m not enjoying sitting and watching other players play football.”

“There’s been some talk about it, let’s just say that. Mick McCarthy knows me and I know him. He is a great coach and I’d love to work with him again, even if it was just for a month or two.

“I need to play matches, I need to get goals and I need to regain my match fitness and if I do, then there’s something in it for Sunderland as well because they’re going for promotion.

“I would love to go there but the manager said he doesn’t want me to go.”
