“💥Sunderland storm transfer race for “impressive” ex-Arsenal ace in dramatic late twist – Premier League rivals left stunned as shock move gains pace this summer!”

Sunderland Eye Premier League Statement with Guendouzi Reunion as Le Bris Takes Charge


Regis Le Bris is reportedly spearheading Sunderland’s ambitious push to bring in more high-profile signings this summer, with former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi emerging as a top target. The French tactician, recently appointed as Sunderland manager, is said to be the driving force behind the club’s pursuit of Guendouzi, having worked with the player during their shared spell at FC Lorient’s B team.

Sunderland have already made headlines with their audacious £30 million swoop for Strasbourg captain Habib Diarra beating out interest from Leeds United in the process and now appear ready to flex their financial muscle again. The potential acquisition of Guendouzi, currently with Lazio, would further signal their Premier League intent.

Former Sunderland scout Mick Brown highlighted Le Bris’ growing influence over the club’s transfer activity, explaining that the manager’s ties to French football and his previous working relationship with Guendouzi could be pivotal in sealing the deal. Brown noted the club’s urgent need to secure top-flight quality and praised the ambition shown in the market.

Adding to the buzz, Sunderland are also reportedly eyeing a deal for defender Charlie Creswell, who has impressed since leaving Leeds for Toulouse. His potential return to England could compound Leeds’ transfer frustrations, especially if Creswell shines in the top flight next season.

Guendouzi, once labelled “impressive” by ex-Black Cats boss Sam Allardyce, has unfinished business in England and could view this move as a fresh opportunity to make his mark in the Premier League under a manager who knows him well.
