Comments from Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman may not fill Regis Le Bris with much confidence during this summer’s transfer window.
Sunderland ended a four-month search for a new head coach when they appointed Frenchman Regis Le Bris in June.
Since, the Black Cats have brought in experienced Championship midfielder Alan Browne on a free transfer, marking the start of what could still be a very positive summer at the Stadium of Light.
Arguably, whether or not Sunderland perform well in the 2024/25 Championship season depends on Kristjaan Speakman and what business he can do in this summer’s transfer window.
Once again, Sunderland are in need of a new striker and Speakman recently discussed the club’s plans to sign a new forward this summer.
He and Le Bris spoke at a Sunderland fans’ forum on Thursday in which Speakman outlined his plans for a new striker signing. But Speakman’s comments may not fill Le Bris with confidence.

Speakman spoke about Sunderland’s need for a new striker this summer. But Speakman himself didn’t sound overly-confident about the club’s chances of landing a prolific no.9.
