Reports suggest that both Sunderland and Leeds United are interested in signing Carvalho in the January transfer window to provide him with more playing opportunities. A loan move could be on the cards for the young forward, who is looking to gain more experience and playing time elsewhere.

Carvalho has been limited to just 96 minutes of Premier League action this season, and has not started a top-flight match since the first weekend of the season. He has been an unused substitute in Brentford's last two Premier League matches.

Sunderland will lose several attackers in a few months due to the African Cup of Nations, and Leeds' struggling attack could benefit from the addition of a player like Carvalho, who could bring a spark to their game. With several options reportedly available to him, a move away from Brentford looks likely in January.
