Sunderland is working hard to secure the signings of two new midfielders before the Friday deadline. The club is focused on strengthening their attack and is currently evaluating different options for potential targets.
One of the midfielders they are hoping to sign is Milan Aleksic, a promising young talent from Radnicki 1923 in Serbia. The other target is Salis Abdul Samed from Lens, with talks progressing well for a potential loan deal.
The pursuit of these two midfielders has raised questions about the future of Pierre Ekwah, with reports suggesting that Saint Etienne is interested in signing him before the window closes.
The potential signing of Aleksic would be a significant achievement for Sunderland. The 18-year-old has attracted interest from top clubs like Benfica and Chelsea and has even received a call-up to Serbia’s national team.
While deals for Aleksic and Samed are not yet finalized, Sunderland is feeling optimistic about their chances. The club is also actively looking to add more firepower upfront, with players like Tom Cannon, Roko Simic, and Alexandre Mendy on their radar.
Although Hull City has also shown interest in Cannon, Sunderland remains in the mix for the young striker. The club is prepared to explore other options if the bidding for Cannon becomes too competitive.
In addition to potential signings, Sunderland is also looking to offload some players before the transfer window closes. Players like Hemir, Jewison Bennette, Zak Johnson, and Joe Anderson are available for loan moves.
Timothee Pembele is not in the manager’s plans, and Sunderland will not stand in the way of potential transfers for Abdoullah Ba and Adil Aouchiche.
