DANISH international Dennis Rommedahl is eyeing a Premiership future with Sunderland - but the right-winger could be in for a huge disappointment.

The PSV Eindhoven player, known as Rocket, yesterday admitted he is excited by the thought of landing at the Stadium of Light in the summer.

"I may be reviewing my plans for the future after learning of Sunderland's interest in me," said Rommedahl

But the player - also admired by Newcastle manager Bobby Robson - is only one name on a lengthy list of possible transfer targets at Sunderland.

And Reid is likely to drop any interest in Rommedahl if he pushes through a deal for Norwegian Alex Valencia, who is currently training with Sunderland.

Rommedahl was keen to quit PSV a few weeks ago, but has regained a regular place at the same time as speculation is mounting about his future.

Rommedahl's current contract expires at the end of next season, so it's believed PSV are prepared to cash in on him this summer.

They will demand at least £5m, which wouldn't deter Reid, who has used a number of players in the right-wing role following the departure of Nicky Summerbee.

Rommedahl will have the perfect opportunity to check out Sunderland when he links up with keeper Thomas Sorensen for next week's international against the Republic of Ireland.

Sorensen is certain to be in the Danish team following Peter Schmeichel's retirement from international football.

But the Sunderland star goes into the game knowing that the Danish coaches may try to persuade Schmeichel to think again about his decision.

Assistant coach Michael Laudrup made it clear yesterday that he believes the former Manchester United keeper has the edge over Sorensen.

Laudrup said: "Peter is still the best in his position - and clearly the best Danish keeper we have."

Meanwhile, Jody Craddock was back in training yesterday after recovering from hamstring trouble and is set to return at Leicester on Saturday when four players will be out through suspension.

Craddock will partner Emerson Thome, who admitted yesterday: "This is a difficult time for us. You do not want to use injuries and suspensions as an excuse, but when you do not have a big group of players it can get tough.

"Leicester is a hard place to go, so we have to pull together and believe in ourselves. We have lost games recently but we have not played that badly.

"We have to get a win quickly because the longer you go without winning the more pressure you feel and the harder it gets.

"We are still together and believe in each other so we can still get a good position in the league.
