Sunderland is on the verge of completing a £17.5m deal for Sassuolo forward Armand Lauriente, as they continue their ambitious summer rebuild. The French attacker is expected to undergo a medical and finalize personal terms on a five-year contract over the weekend after working previously with Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris.
Having already secured exciting names like Enzo Le Fee, Habib Diarra, and Reinildo Mandava, Sunderland is showing no signs of slowing down in the transfer market. Lauriente, who scored 19 goals for Sassuolo last season, is seen as a key addition to the squad, bringing pace, dribbling, and finishing to the front line.
The club’s significant investment in Lauriente represents their determination not only to survive but to compete with attacking flair in the Premier League. With his versatility to play wide or centrally, Lauriente’s arrival is expected to provide depth and skill to Sunderland’s attacking options.
Sunderland fans can look forward to a season filled with excitement, as the club continues to make bold moves in the transfer market. With the backing of the board and a squad full of talent, hopes are high for a successful return to the Premier League and the potential for some memorable moments at the Stadium of Light.
