Sunderland is currently in discussions to secure the services of Brighton & Hove Albion winger Simon Adingra, according to exclusive information from TBR Football.
Manager Regis Le Bris has been successful in bringing in new talent to the team this summer, with Chemsdine Talbi already joining the squad. With Enzo Le Fee, Reinildo, Habib Diarra, and Noah Sadiki also signed, Sunderland’s return to the Premier League is looking promising.
Although Tommy Watson and Jobe Bellingham have departed the club for hefty fees, fans can rest assured that Sunderland is still on the lookout for talented players like Adingra. The winger has been given the green light to leave Brighton this season, after spending time on loan at Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium.
Despite only starting 12 Premier League matches under Fabian Hurzeler last season, Adingra has shown his potential by scoring 12 goals in 73 appearances for Brighton. Several Premier League clubs, including Everton, Leeds United, and Nottingham Forest, have shown interest in the Ivorian winger.
Sunderland, however, is leading the race to secure Adingra’s signature, with a deal said to be close to completion. The arrival of Watson at Brighton has paved the way for Adingra’s departure, making room for new talent at the club.
With the imminent signing of Talbi and now Adingra, Sunderland is proving its ambition in the transfer market, despite previous valuation reports of £50m for the winger. Adingra’s experience in the Premier League and international success with the Ivory Coast make him a valuable addition to Sunderland’s squad.
As the club continues to search for a goalkeeper, their summer spending spree shows no signs of slowing down.
