Sunderland’s sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, has provided an update on the club’s transfer activities as they continue to make moves in the busy summer window. Despite a strong start to the transfer window, Speakman emphasized that the club is still looking to bring in ‘several’ new signings to strengthen the squad.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Speakman spoke about the club’s ambition to build a squad capable of competing in the Premier League. He highlighted the importance of finding the right players and maintaining a balance between being calm and decisive in the transfer market.
Speakman acknowledged the challenge of stepping up to the Premier League and reiterated the club’s goal to reestablish Sunderland as a top-tier team. He emphasized the importance of team spirit and unity in the dressing room, which has been key to the club’s success in the past.
With defence emerging as a key priority for Sunderland, especially with several players ruled out for the start of the season, Speakman and the club are working hard to strengthen the squad. As they continue to assess the current players and their potential, decisions will be made after a trip to Portugal on who will be part of the Premier League squad next season.
Sunderland remains a work in progress, with a focus on reinforcing the squad and building connections on the pitch. Despite the challenges of the transfer market, the club is adapting and learning more about their players with each training session and game, with the goal of building a competitive and united squad for the upcoming season.
