Sunderland: £29k-p/w Black Cats target could be Clarke’s dream partner
Kristjaan Speakman could swoop to sign the talented ace at the start of next year.
Sunderland have made an excellent start to the 2023/24 campaign and remain in contention to secure a play-off place for the second season in succession.
The Black Cats are fourth after 11 matches, in spite of their 4-0 loss to Middlesbrough last time out, and nine points off Ipswich Town, who are second as it stands.
Tony Mowbray’s side lost to Luton Town in the play-off semi-finals last season and will now be hoping to go one better to secure promotion to the Premier League next year.
Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman dipped into the market to bolster the manager’s squad throughout the summer transfer window in an attempt to bolster the club’s chances of doing so.
Jenson Seelt, Jobe Bellingham, Nectarios Triantis, Eliezer Mayenda, Luis Semedo, Bradley Dack, Timothee Pembele, Adil Aouchiche, Mason Burstow, Nazariy Rusyn, and Nathan Bishop were all brought in either on permanent or loan deals.
Their fourth-placed position, as it stands, suggests that the club’s business has had the desired effect so far but they are reportedly looking at another deal ahead of the January transfer window.
What’s the latest on Amad Diallo to Sunderland?
TEAMtalk recently revealed that the Black Cats are plotting a swoop to bring the Manchester United youngster, who would come in as a dream partner for Jack Clarke, back to the Stadium of Light at the start of next year.
The report claimed that a knee injury sustained during pre-season ruled out a summer exit from Old Trafford for the former Atalanta prodigy.
However, the talented gem is now ready to secure a move away from the Premier League side and Sunderland are hoping to land a loan deal for his services for the second half of the 2023/24 campaign.
It is also stated that the Red Devils are prepared to sanction a temporary transfer for the ex-Rangers loanee, which suggests that he is not in Erik ten Hag’s immediate first-team plans at this moment in time.
