Sunderland agree Alderete charge

It has been a relentless summer season for the Black Cats available in the market, with Regis Le Bris including an enormous quantity of depth to his squad forward of their return to the Premier League.

The most recent addition for Sunderland seems prone to be Getafe defender Omar Alderete, with a £10m deal reportedly agreed to signal the 28-year-old. The Paraguayan began 34 La Liga matches final season, proving to be a key man, profitable a median of three aerial duels per recreation.

Black Cats supporters will definitely be hoping that the membership’s summer season enterprise nonetheless is not finished there, nevertheless, with Sevilla centre-back Loic Bade additionally strongly linked with a transfer to Stadium of Mild in latest days.

Now, a brand new title has been thrown into the combination for Sunderland, as they appear to herald extra high quality on the different finish of the pitch forward of their Premier League opener at residence to West Ham on Saturday.

In accordance with Il Messaggero [via Sport Witness], Sunderland have made an strategy for Roma ahead Artem Dovbyk forward of fellow promoted facet Leeds United.

The 28-year-old is needed by each promoted Premier League golf equipment, and West Ham, along with his present membership demanding over £23m for his signature this summer season, with the Black Cats making an enquiry.

Dovbyk is an skilled attacker who might add much-needed firepower to Sunderland’s squad, having scored 17 targets in 45 appearances for Roma, to not point out 11 in 36 caps for Ukraine.

The attacking ace is correct in his peak years, so it would not be a case of the Black Cats signing a teen who continues to be maturing, and journalist Zach Lowy has described him as an “elite” participant.

“Victor Osimhen goes to be essentially the most pursued middle ahead this summer season however I don’t suppose Artem Dovbyk will likely be too far behind. He’s approaching the prime of his profession as a CF and has confirmed to be not only a incredible finisher, however an elite goal man with link-up potential too.”

If Sunderland have been capable of beat Leeds and West Ham to Dovbyk’s signature, it could really feel like an added bonus, particularly when it comes to getting the higher of one of many different promoted sides from final season, as they’ve already finished with midfielders Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki.

Loads of purpose menace is required if Le Bris’ males are to face a great likelihood of avoiding a return to the Championship, and Dovbyk might be a robust addition to assist that difficulty.
