The Guardian is reporting that Micky Adams is set to make his first signing of the summer after offering £1m for the Sunderland winger Matt Piper.

The paper says that "Adams is desperate to bring the former Leicester player back to the Walkers Stadium and take advantage of Sunderland's miserable relegation from the Premiership".

Matty Piper, 21, joined the Black Cats for £3.5m last summer from Leicester but made only 13 appearances due to a hernia injury.

Adams said:

"Matt has not had the best of times at Sunderland, with three different managers this season alone, but there's no doubt he's got a lot of ability.

"He was very popular here at Leicester and if we could agree an acceptable price we would like to see him back because we know all about him."

Piper's father, Mark, is also his agent and wants his son back where he belongs... at Leicester. Matty never wanted to leave in the first place.

At the last fan's forum Adams revealed that Mark Piper had been onto him saying he could have Matt for £1m and £8k a week. Micky had responded with "there's only two problems...£1m and £8k a week!"

Hopefully Matty is willing to take a big enough pay cut to bring him back home.
