Former Sunderland midfielder Lee Cattermole says he "will be gutted" if Dan Neil leaves the club.
Neil came through the Black Cats academy and played a big part in Sunderland's rise to the Premier League, featuring for the side in League One and the Championship.
However, the 24-year-old midfielder's contract is up in the summer and he has made only three substitute appearances for Regis le Bris' side this season.
Cattermole said: "If he does leave, I will be gutted that he hasn't had the chance to show himself because people write people off before they have even had a chance to kick the ball.
"I think he would have been expecting to have a start, especially with Afcon and us losing players.
"The speculation is definitely there. I believe he wants to be and should be playing football at his age."
