Sunderland have agreed personal terms with a £13m striker, who could be set to join on an initial loan deal this month, according to a report.
Black Cats vying for promotion
The Black Cats will feel very disappointed to have not taken all three points from their trip to Turf Moor on Friday night, with Wilson Isidor twice being denied from the penalty spot by Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
However, Regis Le Bris’ side remain in a strong position to gain promotion from the Championship, as they are still within touching distance of the automatic promotion places, with the manager looking to bolster his squad even further this month.
Central midfielder Enzo Le Fee was put straight into the starting XI after arriving on an initial loan from Roma, with an obligation to buy if Le Bris’ side secure promotion.
Now, the manager is looking to orchestrate a similar type of deal to bring in a new striker, with talks being held over a deal to sign Westerlo’s Matija Frigan, who is likely to set Sunderland back around £13m if they are promoted to the Premier League.
Belgian outlet Het Nieuwsblad has now offered a further update on the Black Cats’ pursuit of Frigan (via Walfoot), detailing that personal terms have been agreed over a move to the Stadium of Light.
Signing the striker is said to be a priority for Sunderland, and it appears as though they could have a strong chance of getting a deal done, given that the player himself is clearly interested in the move.
