Press reports have revealed that Sunderland is expected to have a lot of interest in the upcoming summer transfer window, and this interest is expected to be to strengthen the men's first team, in the way that many of the team's fans also desire.

Past failures, but more attempts from Sunderland!

Although Sunderland were very interested in the Ghanaian player, it seems that the Black Cats failed to convince the player and Leicester City management to let him join their ranks last winter.

Now Leicester City are very open to listening to offers for their Ghanaian star, and many huge offers are expected to arrive. It will certainly be difficult for Leicester City to refuse them or stand in the way of the player accepting them if they are very tempting.

Despite Leicester poor season, he’s been great - 9 Goals + 7 Assists so far.

Sunderland’s campaign has been severely hampered by injuries, exposing a squad that lacked the depth needed to push for higher ambitions. Acknowledging those shortcomings, the club is already laying the groundwork for the summer transfer window with the aim of taking the next step forward. Chief among their priorities is bringing in a dynamic winger capable of adding pace and creativity to the attack.
