FINALLY: A transfer breakthrough for the BLACK CATS after Club insider reveal Sunderland now HIT a jackpot as long raided attacker now at England and set for medicals to be Stadium of Light pioneer.
Wilson Isidor is reportedly set to undergo a medical at Sunderland after arriving in England this week.
The 23-year-old forward, who previously played for Monaco, is currently with Zenit St Petersburg, following a successful stint at Lokomotiv Moscow earlier in his career. Zenit’s CEO confirmed on Tuesday that Isidor is on his way to Wearside, and sources at The Echo have verified this information.

According to Russian outlet Sports Express, Isidor is now undergoing a medical with Sunderland. Their report states: “As SE has learned, 23-year-old Zenit striker Wilson Isidor arrived in England on Wednesday, August 21, to finalize his transfer to Sunderland. The footballer is set to undergo a medical examination.”
