Sunderland hold real interest in signing free agent who Alex Ferguson loved
With the appointment of Regis Le Bris finally ending Sunderland’s search for a new manager, the club can now look to bring in the new players that they hope can take them back to the top six of the Championship next season.
Sunderland target new talents this summer
The latest news out of the Stadium of Light has focused on the club bringing young stars to the club. Former West Ham man Divin Mubama is one name linked with a move to Wearside after the 19-year-old left his boyhood club at the end of last month.
Sunderland are also said to be one of a host of second tier clubs attempting to sign Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on loan this summer. Whilst the Black Cats will face stiff competition to secure the services of the 21-year-old, the club’s record of developing young talent could be what tips the scales in their favour.
Whilst rumours of Sunderland signing new players will excite much of their fanbase, the news of Chris Rigg’s new contract at the Stadium of Light could be the club’s best business of the summer. The 17-year-old academy graduate has agreed a new deal to keep him at the club until 2027.
