Sunderland in Brutal chase of EPL striker who is ready to leave club on a Loan Deal as Player aim for more play time…. Player will Perfectly fit Le Bris game pattern.
Sunderland FC is considering Premier League loan signings for the upcoming transfer window, following previous successes like Amad Diallo. The club’s transfer activity has been slow so far, with only two free agents, Simon Moore and Alan Browne, joining the squad.
Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman is focusing on acquiring strikers, but progress has been limited. A bid for Alexandre Mendy, last season’s Ligue 2 top scorer, was rejected by Caen as it fell short of their valuation. This comes after a disappointing season where Sunderland’s three striker signings from the previous summer collectively scored only three league goals.
A new potential target has emerged in Will Lankshear from Tottenham Hotspur. The 19-year-old striker, who recently signed a five-year contract with Spurs, is expected to be loaned out. Sunderland, along with Hull City and Wrexham, have inquired about his availability. Lankshear has an impressive record of 18 goals in 24 Premier League 2 appearances but lacks first-team experience.
The pursuit of Lankshear draws parallels to Sunderland’s previous signing of Joe Gelhardt, raising concerns about whether another young, unproven striker is the right fit for the club’s needs. While Lankshear could bolster the squad, there are doubts about his ability to provide the consistent goal-scoring Sunderland requires.
The club’s management, including manager Regis Le Bris and Speakman, likely prioritize securing a more experienced striker to address their scoring issues before considering less proven options like Lankshear.
