While Sunderland’s top goal in the upcoming weeks will be to appoint a new manager, the Championship team is also keen to bring in new players, and the Black Cats have now been given the opportunity to acquire a former target at a reduced cost.
Massive change is coming to Sunderland this summer.
Sunderland, who finished in 16th place last season, is keen to move on from their disappointing performance and start over this summer. The Black Cats are currently searching for a new manager to take over in the dugout at the Stadium of Light, and that is the top priority on their to-do list.
Despite the fact that many names have been proposed, the Wearside team has been linked to highly regarded managers Marti Cifuentes and Liam Rosenior. Cifuentes guided a QPR team that was headed for relegation to a comfortable 18th place, while Rosenior narrowly missed the playoffs before Hull City fired him.
Sunderland doesn’t have a manager, but they still seem ready to complete deals for fresh players. Declan Frith, a young player rated highly by Watford and Valencia B, has previously been linked to the Black Cats. The 22-year-old winger will surely be eager to leave Spain this summer as he has not yet made an appearance for Valencia’s first squad.
Sunderland appears to have benefited from Kyril Louis-Dreyfus’s evident willingness to close deals quickly, as they continue to search for a new striker.
