Le Bris could axe Roberts by signing Sunderland’s “remarkable” target
Regis Le Bris will be aiming to leave his mark on the Sunderland squad during this transfer window, as many Championship sides now go full steam in adding more and more players to their roster ahead of the season to come.
There has only been one new addition to the Black Cats camp so far, with former Coventry City goalkeeper Simon Moore entering the building on a free transfer, but it’s unlikely to be the only incoming as the Frenchman now occupying the dug-out puts together what he’ll hope is a promotion worthy group.
He might even sign a couple of players that could ruffle a few feathers when it comes to the old guard at the Stadium of Light, with an entertaining attacker reportedly on the Championship side’s agenda.
Sunderland interested in loan deal for dazzling youngster
Sunderland have joined a whole host of other second-tier clubs in attempting to sign Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi this summer on loan, as per football journalist Alan Nixon via his Patreon.
The Black Cats have even asked about whether such a deal could take place according to Nixon, with Stoke City and Queens Park Rangers also doing the same, whilst Luton Town, Blackburn Rovers and plenty more EFL suitors eye up the sought-after 21-year-old as well.
Why Rak-Sakyi could take Roberts’ spot
This could be a loan switch that’s attractive for the Eagles reserve player, who was only afforded six Premier League games last season, with Rak-Sakyi still fondly remembered by those with Charlton Athletic connections, for a blistering season-long loan stint during the 22/23 campaign.
Patrick Roberts might sense that his assured starting position in the Sunderland first-team could be under threat by Rak-Sakyi’s arrival to Wearside, however, as Les Bris starts to reshape the XI to his liking
