BOMBSHELL: Dream team achieved for Regis Le Bris as Sunderland welcomes new SIGNING with arrival confirmed to be….. kyril Louis Dreyfus reveal Stadium of Light will see more arrivals before transfer deadline.
The summer transfer window is heating up, with Sunderland recently announcing the signing of Wilson Isidor, while Jack Clarke is expected to join Ipswich Town.
Isidor, a forward, has joined Sunderland on a deal that runs until the end of the current season, with an option for the club to make the move permanent next summer. Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman praised the 23-year-old’s “healthy” goalscoring record at the top level, highlighting that Isidor’s speed and athleticism will enhance Regis Le Bris’ attacking options.
“Wilson is a mobile and athletic forward with senior experience and a strong goalscoring record at the top level,” Speakman said. “We believe he fits well with our playing style and has the attributes to strengthen our attack. He’s excited to be here, and we’re looking forward to helping him settle in.”
On the outgoing side, Jack Clarke has left Sunderland to join Premier League club Ipswich Town. Despite being available for selection earlier in the week, Clarke was quickly snapped up by Ipswich after they made a significant bid. The deal is reportedly worth around £20 million, including add-ons, with an initial fee of approximately £15 million.
Now that Isidor has joined Sunderland, here’s a look at how Regis Le Bris’ ideal starting XI might shape up:
1. **GK: Anthony Patterson**
Patterson has been a mainstay in Sunderland’s lineup, starting 91 of the club’s 92 league games since their promotion to the Championship. The 23-year-old signed a new contract last year despite interest from Premier League clubs. As a local talent, he has expressed pride in playing for his boyhood team and is unlikely to leave unless a substantial offer is made.
2. **RB: Trai Hume**
Hume had a breakthrough season in 2022-23 and signed a contract extension with Sunderland last June, keeping him at the club until 2027.
3. **LB: Dennis Cirkin**
The former Tottenham left-back is a key player for Sunderland when fit. Although Cirkin struggled with injuries last season, he has started the current campaign strongly.
4. **CB: Aji Alese**
Despite missing significant time due to injury this season, the 23-year-old defender recently extended his contract with the club.
