The 24-year-old graduated from the Black Cats’ academy before moving to Coventry City.

Reports in Scotland say he is one of a number of targets for Hearts, who are looking to add a left-back to their ranks before the deadline, which is midnight north of the border.

However, the Gazette understands that there has been no contact between Adams and Hearts.
