Sunderland has made a formidable begin to their Premier League return, which comes off the again of a superb summer time switch window. Nevertheless, they weren’t in a position to do all of their desired enterprise, however this might be corrected in January.
The Black Cats had been after yet another central defender – particularly, Jhon Lucumi. The Bologna man was within the transfer, however ultimately, there was no settlement reached, which meant that he stayed in Italy.
Nevertheless, that is probably not the case for for much longer, as Sunderland look to complete what they began in the summertime.
Sunderland eager on finishing January transfer for Jhon Lucumi
As per Alan Nixon (through Sunderland Echo), Sunderland are retained their curiosity in Lucumi, and their plan is to finish a cope with Bologna throughout the January switch window. They’re ready to pay £25m to get it over the road, which might be sufficient to for the Serie A facet to promote – even with out organising a substitute, which is why the switch was not accomplished in the summertime.
Sunderland have seemed strong defensively of their opening 4 Premier League matches, holding clear sheets towards West Ham and Crystal Palace. The additions of Omar Alderete and Nordi Mukiele are trying good to this point, and if Lucumi had been to be added to Regis Le Bris’ choices, it could be implausible power in depth.
For now, it stays to be seen whether or not Sunderland look to make one other concrete try and signal Lucumi in January. He will surely be a prime signing given how spectacular he has been for Bologna and Colombia during the last 12-18 months, and at £25m, he may find yourself being one other glorious piece of enterprise achieved by the North East membership.
