Staying: Sunderland manager Roy Keane

Keane is an outsider for the Chelsea vacancy but Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn is not worried by the speculation. He said: "I'm not overly surprised that Roy has been linked but rather than fret about it I'd take it as a positive that we must be doing something right as a football club. I'm pretty happy at this stage that he'll be with us for a long time to come.

"Roy and I have had an understanding from day one of this journey at Sunderland and we don't really need a contract to confirm anything between us.

"But when it comes to signing new players, and for the players already at the club, for those reasons there will be a contract offered shortly.

"Players need to see commitment. We are circling one or two targets and we want Roy to be satisfied."
