In January, the Black Cats might perhaps revisit one of their summer Deadline Day targets.
Sunderland are unlikely to see much action in the forthcoming January transfer window, but current ailments may need some new signings.
On the left wing, both Romaine Mundle and Tommy Watson are currently injured, forcing Eliezer Mayenda to play out wide.
The current Sunderland front line has undoubtedly been hampered by an ever-increasing list of absentees, with the Black Cats clearly missing Mundle’s consistent goal threat on the left flank, while Wilson Isidor has slowed his scoring pace in comparison to his blistering start on Wearside.
As a result, Regis Le Bris and Kristjaan Speakman may be looking to improve their striking line during the January transfer window, with one previous Black Cats target reportedly still available for a move. Sunderland could rekindle their interest in Lyon attacker Gift Orban in January.
On Deadline Day, the Black Cats were considering numerous attacking options, including Lyon striker Gift Orban.
The 22-year-old, who has a market value of £8 million according to Transfermarkt, has spent the majority of his time on the sidelines for Ligue 1.
Orban had three consecutive appearances in late August and early September, but he has not been picked to a league squad since October 27th.
The goalscorer’s alleged exile is peculiar, especially after scoring twice in his first league game of the 2024/25 season, and Lyon is anticipated to want to offload the Nigerian, either on loan or permanently.
Sunderland were considering a late move for the forward this summer, but were unable to reach an agreement with Lyon.
