“Will be sorted out soon because I spoke to a friend already” Regis Le Bris reveal the Black Cats striker search is now under control with Deal ongoing to SIGN complete Striker who is also good on air.
Sunderland FC’s striker situation remains precarious despite acquiring four new forwards last summer. These signings proved ineffective, collectively scoring only three goals in the Championship. The club is now urgently seeking an experienced striker to bolster their attack.
Recent attempts to sign Alexandre Mendy have stalled, and the pursuit of Ike Ugbo faces stiff competition. With the next match approaching, it seems unlikely that a new striker will be secured, much to the fans’ dismay.
Manager Regis Le Bris addressed the situation vaguely, stating to Sunderland Echo, “We’re working on it, but the transfer process is complex. Even top clubs like Marseille are struggling to find strikers.”
This situation echoes previous statements from Kristjaan Speakman, which ultimately led to no new striker being signed. The club claims a shortage of available strikers, but other Championship teams have managed to secure experienced forwards.
While Sunderland has improved its transfer strategy, the failure to sign a striker could negate these advancements. The potential Mendy deal may still materialize, but fans are frustrated at the prospect of relying on inexperienced Eliezer Mayenda as the primary striker for upcoming matches.
If Le Bris is forced to navigate the season without a seasoned striker, it could lead to mounting frustration for both the manager and supporters.
