Sunderland are on track to sign loan sensation Wilson Isidor permanently if they secure promotion to the Premier League, according to the Sunderland Echo. Isidor, a summer acquisition, showcased his talent once again by scoring a spectacular volley in the team’s recent 2-0 victory over Oxford United. This marked his fourth goal for the club in just six starts.
The agreement between Sunderland and Zenit includes a fee for Isidor’s permanent transfer, which will be automatically activated if the team reaches the Premier League. However, if promotion is not achieved, the decision to sign Isidor permanently will be left to the club.
Despite the potentially costly nature of acquiring top strikers, Isidor’s fee is rumored to be a modest £3.5m. The Frenchman has expressed his desire to stay at Sunderland long-term, emphasizing his dedication to the club and the fans in the North East.
With Isidor’s impressive performances and strong connection to the club already evident, Sunderland looks to have made a shrewd move in securing his services for the future. If Isidor continues to excel, his bond with the fans at Sunderland will only deepen further.
