Hide AdThe 28-year-old, who has previously been linked with Sunderland, has scored eight times in 21 League One appearances this season – including a brace in October’s 5-1 win over the Black Cats.
Ladapo has been playing regularly alongside Rotherham’s top scorer Michael Smith this campaign but will be out of contract this summer – although the Millers have a 12-month option which would extend the deal until the summer of 2023.
Here, though, we take a look at what Sunderland fans are saying about the links and if they believe Ladapo would be a good signing for Lee Johnson.
Here’s what YOU said on social media:
Steven-Rachel Campbell: “Would be a statement of intent for definite but would not see them selling to a promotion rival.”

Andrew McRoy: “Just to make sure they don't have any strikers... sign him and recall Grigg on final day and then put them in U23.”
Granda Keith: “Rather have Freddie Kruger.”
Andy Dixon: “Would be a great addition to the team but Rotherham will not sell to a promotion rival.”
@straydog73: “Thought we had finished with journeymen.”
@ColArmy86: “It's a must surely!”
@Paulsafc2: “Straight swap for Grigg.”

@SUPSUPandaway: “I doubt we'd play two strikers at once and therefore I doubt he'd want to sign for us and sit on the bench.”
@sunderlandlads1: “He won’t be on the bench all of the time Johnson likes rotating the squad.”
