Head coach Steve Bruce – who loaned Jetro Willems and Danny Rose last season – is looking to sign a left-back this summer, and Sky in Italy claim that the club is in discussions with Sassuolo over a move for 22-year-old Rogerio, who would reportedly command a fee of £12.5million.

Rogerio – who played for Brazil at youth level – joined the Serie A club on a permanent deal from Juventus last summer after two successful loans.
