Sunderland are keeping a watchful eye on the impressive Denmark U21 midfielder, Clement Bischoff, with reports suggesting they may have to part ways with approximately €6million (£5.1million) to secure his talents this upcoming summer. The 19-year-old prospect from Brøndby has been turning heads during the U21 European Championship, garnering interest from various clubs across Europe, including Premier League sides Sunderland and Wolves.
Bischoff’s standout performances on the international stage, which include scoring two goals and providing an assist during the tournament, have significantly heightened his market value. Sunderland’s sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, has been actively scouting players like Bischoff as the club gears up for their return to the Premier League. Brøndby, recognizing the potential of their star midfielder, have tagged him with the €6million price but are willing to entertain offers to avoid losing him for free when his contract concludes in 2026.
On a separate note in the transfer market, Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly considering re-signing Sunderland left-back Dennis Cirkin, with UEFA squad regulations for the impending Champions League campaign playing a significant role in their pursuit. Cirkin, a graduate of the Spurs academy, played a crucial role in Sunderland’s successful promotion season, racking up 39 appearances as the team returned to the Premier League via the playoffs. With just a year left on his contract at the Stadium of Light, the 23-year-old’s future remains uncertain as Tottenham’s new head coach, Thomas Frank, is pondering a move to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. Tottenham’s latest move is seen as an effort to satisfy UEFA’s squad registration rules, which require Champions League teams to feature at least four ‘club-trained’ players, individuals who have spent a minimum of three full seasons with the club between the ages of 15 and 21.
