REPORT: Sunderland TOLD Tottenham Striker chase will only come true on two decisive move…. Amid transfer might be triggered by Bournemouth striker.
Sunderland’s search for a new striker has led them to consider Bournemouth’s Daniel Jebbison, but their pursuit may prove unsuccessful. Despite the Black Cats’ interest in the 21-year-old forward, recent developments suggest he may be out of reach.
Sky Sports’ Keith Downie reported that Sunderland view Jebbison as a potential addition of “pace and power” to their attack. However, HITC has indicated that Bournemouth has already ruled out Sunderland as a potential loan destination for Jebbison.
The Cherries have reportedly discussed loan options with numerous Championship clubs, including Norwich City, West Brom, Stoke City, Hull City, Derby County, and Portsmouth. Leeds United has also expressed interest, although they’re primarily focused on replacing departed winger Crysencio Summerville.
Complicating matters further is Bournemouth’s own striker situation. Following Dominic Solanke’s sale to Tottenham and an injury to Enes Unal, Jebbison has become a key figure in manager Andoni Iraola’s plans. Iraola stated, “Jebbison is our specific number nine right now,” highlighting the player’s current importance to the team.
While it’s expected that Jebbison will eventually be loaned out, Bournemouth’s need to find a replacement for Solanke first may delay any potential moves. The club’s recent unsuccessful bid for FC Porto’s Evanilson underscores their ongoing search for reinforcements.
Given these circumstances, Sunderland may need to explore alternative options to address their striker requirements.
