With just a month to go until Sunderland’s Premier League season begins, the Stadium of Light is buzzing with anticipation as West Ham United is set to visit on opening day.
Despite the departure of Jobe Bellingham, Sunderland has welcomed six new faces to their squad, including the exciting addition of Simon Adingra from Brighton and Hove Albion for a hefty £18m fee. This influx of talent aims to bolster the team’s experience in the top-flight league and prepare them for the challenges ahead.
Granit Xhaka, an experienced midfielder with over 200 Premier League appearances, is rumored to be a target for Sunderland, along with the promising playmaker Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City. These potential signings could be key in helping Sunderland avoid relegation in the upcoming season.
As Sunderland looks to fill the void left by Bellingham’s departure, they have already made exciting attacking signings like Habib Diarra. However, the search for a standout number ten continues, with El Khannouss emerging as a potential candidate to follow in Bellingham’s footsteps.
Despite impressive performances for Leicester City last season, El Khannouss is eager for a new challenge at Sunderland and hopes to make a significant impact on the team. With his talent and potential, Sunderland’s fans are hopeful that El Khannouss can become a long-term asset for the club, just like Bellingham was before his departure for Borussia Dortmund.
