After the excitement of Sunderland’s perfect start to the Championship season and the flurry of transfer activity on deadline day, the team now heads into a two-week international break.
Under new head coach Régis Le Bris, Sunderland has won four consecutive league games, defeating Cardiff City, Sheffield Wednesday, Burnley, and Portsmouth, making them the only team in the second tier with a 100% record.
In addition to their winning streak, Sunderland also bolstered their squad by signing four players on deadline day: Chris Mepham, Milan Aleksic, Abdul Samed, and Ahmed Abdullahi.
Here’s a recap of some post-deadline news that may have flown under the radar during the international break:
**Naby Keita Link**
In an unexpected transfer twist this summer, Sunderland reportedly attempted to sign former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita last week. According to *The Guardian*, the club was working on a deal to bring the £50 million-rated player back to England.
Football journalist Ed Aarons revealed on social media that Sunderland showed interest in the 29-year-old, but the two parties couldn’t agree on terms, causing the deal to fall through. Keita is now in talks with Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir, exploring a move from his current team, Werder Bremen.
**Jack Clarke Transfer Details**
More information has emerged about Jack Clarke’s transfer from Sunderland to Ipswich Town. According to *The Echo* via chief football writer Phil Smith, Sunderland will receive 15% of any future transfer fee when Clarke is sold next.
The Black Cats sold Clarke for an initial £15 million to Ipswich, with an additional £3 million in potential add-ons expected over the next year. There is also the possibility of another £2 million in add-ons, though they are considered less likely to be triggered.
