JUST IN: Kristjaan Speakman sunderland striker search HEAT up with clubs HIGH interest in 21yr Premier League goal poacher as the wearsiders make “registered offer”
Sunderland FC is intensifying their search for a striker, with three potential candidates emerging in recent reports.
The team’s need for reinforcement in the forward position became evident after their season opener against Cardiff City, where they struggled offensively despite winning 2-0. With the transfer window closing at the month’s end, Sunderland has time to secure new signings.
Dan Jebbison, recently signed by Bournemouth, is among the prospects. Sky Sports’ Keith Downie reported that Sunderland is considering Jebbison, along with other forwards, for a potential loan deal. The club believes the 21-year-old Canadian-born striker could enhance their attack with his speed and strength.
Will Lankshear, a 19-year-old Tottenham youth player with experience at Arsenal and Sheffield United, is another target. Sunderland has reportedly shown interest in Lankshear, though any loan agreement might be finalized later in the transfer window.
Lastly, Sunderland is said to have a “significant interest” in Tottenham striker Dane Scarlett, according to Sunderland Nation.
As the club explores these options, they aim to bolster their offensive lineup before the transfer deadline.
