Sunderland under new manager Regis Le Bris look set for a busy transfer window.
Sunderland have finally hired a new manager, bringing in Regis Le Bris more than four months since the club sacked Michael Beale.
The Black Cats though have already gotten to work in the summer transfer window, making Simon Moore their first signing.
The experienced shot-stopper’s arrival may signal at a change in transfer mentality from those at Sunderland this summer.
Last season’s downfall highlighted a desperate lack of experience in the first-team squad, which is something both Beale and Mike Dodds pointed out.
Reports have suggested that Sunderland will target players with more Championship experience during this summer’s transfer window.
With a new manager arriving, it’ll inevitably impact upon matters in the transfer market. But it appears as though Le Bris has already had some input on transfer activity at the Stadium of Light since his arrival.
Sunderland transfer state of play after Regis Le Bris appointment
An emerging report from Sunderland Echo has revealed the transfer state of play at Sunderland following the arrival of Le Bris.
Their report states that Le Bris, despite only arriving recently, ‘has had extensive input’ in terms of ‘giving his views on the current squad’ at Sunderland.
Le Bris has also had his say on ‘where reinforcements might be needed and even some initial thoughts on club targets’.
The same report concluded that Sunderland ‘don’t believe they’re behind where they need to be’ during this summer’s transfer window, which opened for business earlier in June.
