Sunderland EDGE Closer To Sensational £10m Signing as Transfer Battle Rages On!
NewsRocco Gardner07/03/19 In what would be an absolutely huge transfer for the Championship, Sunderland are said to be closing in on the £10 million signing that could help power a genuine automatic promotion push this season.
The Stadium of Light sources say Sunderland are in advanced discussions with a big-name attacking midfielder whose name is being kept under wraps. The cost — expected to be around £10m — would see him become one of the club’s most expensive acquisitions in recent years and is a statement of intent from the Black Cats board.
The transfer furore has reportedly caught the eye of a few Championship counterparts and even some lower-level Premier League sides, but Sunderland seem to have acted quickly to get ahead. As discussions move forward and medicals are reportedly being scheduled, fans are beginning to dream big.
The ambitious statement is further confirmation of Regis Le Bris’s aims to bring quality and experience to a youthful line-up. Sunderland missed out on promotion by the skin of their teeth last season, and the Black Cats are hell-bent on getting back into the Premier League for the first time since 2017.
Fans have been buzzing all over social media, with some describing it’s a “statement signing” and a sign that the club are actually getting down to doing things rather than just talking about them. And if the agreement happens, it just might provide a jolt that sparks their season.
And with the window still open and some momentum building, Sunderland have made a statement: they’re not here to make up the numbers – they’re here to compete.
