Sunderland eye free agents for key roles
Sunderland enquire about Juventus midfielder Khéphren Thuram, seeking financial details. Juve may sell for €35-40m to meet FFP aims, with Nottingham Forest also asking. Club chiefs weigh offers this summer.
Sunderland weigh free agents: Wilson, Stones, Bissouma, Kamada, Malacia, Sancho. Wages and likelihood vary. Needs include right wing, holding mid and backup left back as they prepare for Europe.
Sunderland join Everton, Ipswich and Hull in pursuit of Birmingham’s Jay Stansfield. Blues value the 23-year-old at £25m+, no bids yet. He hit 10 in 44 last season and is contracted until 2031.
A fan curates eight songs tied to Sunderland memories, from 1973 FA Cup glory to modern heroes like Granit Xhaka and Luke O’Nien, celebrating origins, resilience and belonging for supporters.
