The battle for promotion in the Championship is heating up as Leeds United and Leicester City both aim for a return to the Premier League. Currently sitting in 3rd and 1st place respectively, the two teams may also find themselves in a transfer battle.
Reports suggest that Leeds United and Leicester City are interested in Sunderland’s defensive star Trai Hume. The 21-year-old has been a standout performer for the Black Cats, with regular appearances in the Championship this season. Known primarily as a right-back but also capable on the left or as a centre-back, Hume’s versatility has caught the eye of several top-flight clubs.
With a contract extending until 2027, Sunderland are not under pressure to sell. However, if an opportunity arises for a significant profit, Leeds United, Leicester City, and Burnley could make a move for the promising young defender.
Hume’s impressive senior experience, with over 100 appearances for Sunderland, Linfield, and Ballymena, makes him a promising prospect for a future in the Premier League. Whether Sunderland can guide him to the top tier or if one of the interested clubs will secure his services, Hume appears destined for a bright future in English football.
