Sunderland, one of the promoted sides from the Championship last season, seems to be the best-prepared team for immediate safety in the Premier League. Leeds United has also made a big move by acquiring Sean Longstaff for £12m, but Sunderland, led by Regis Le Bris, has been splashing the cash left and right.
Apart from signing Reinildo on a free transfer from Atletico Madrid, Sunderland has spent over £12m on each new player this summer, indicating a commitment to strengthening the squad. The latest rumor suggests that they are close to signing Granit Xhaka from Bayer Leverkusen, which would be a significant addition to their ranks.
Xhaka, a proven Premier League performer with Arsenal before moving to the Bundesliga, could be the next star signing for Sunderland. His experience and combative style make him a valuable asset, especially in a relegation battle. With impressive stats and a history of delivering in key moments, Xhaka is seen as a potential game-changer for Sunderland.
If the deal goes through, Xhaka could follow in the footsteps of Le Fee, another successful signing made by Le Bris last summer. The potential addition of Xhaka has been praised as “inspired” by football experts, highlighting the impact he could have on Sunderland’s Premier League campaign.
