Baldwin, last season’s Posh skipper, was placed on the transfer list at the end of last season.

Sunderland chairman Stewart Donald told fans website Roker Roar; “He’s on our list. There’s about 10 defenders on the list. (Manager) Jack (Ross) will have them in order and we’ll work through them. He’s a name on the list.

“Without going into two much detail, the view is we need two centre-halves and his name has been put forward as one of them.”

It would be quite the move for Baldwin (25) who moved to Posh from Hartlepool for £500k in January, 2014. He’s made 118 Posh appearances in a career blighted by a serious knee injury when he was believed to be on the verge of a move to Bournemouth.

Hartlepool have a sell-on clause, but, it’s understood, only on an amount over £500k which Posh are not believed to be asking.

Baldwin was a transfer target for Scottish League club Aberdeen earlier in the summer.

Posh were yesterday again linked with a move for Accrington Stanley centre-forward Kayden Jackson.
