Sunderland’s summer signing Wilson Isidor made his first appearance for the club at Fratton Park on Saturday, impressing manager Régis Le Bris with his versatility. The 24-year-old, who joined on loan from Zenit St Petersburg with the option to make the deal permanent next summer, showcased his ability as a left winger against Portsmouth.
While Isidor prefers to operate on the left side of the pitch, Le Bris believes he has the potential to excel as a striker as well. The Frenchman praised Isidor’s speed, finishing ability, and willingness to attack space, highlighting his value as both a forward and a winger. Isidor himself expressed his desire to contribute goals from any position, emphasizing his eagerness to make an impact for the team.
Despite competition from Eliezer Mayenda on the wing, Isidor is determined to showcase his skills as a striker and make a significant contribution throughout the season. With his attacking mindset and ability to score from various positions, Isidor is eager to make his mark and contribute to Sunderland’s success on the pitch.
