Sunderland is gearing up for another impressive transfer business, aiming to replicate the success of last summer's signings. The team is in a heated race to reinforce its squad with top-notch players from European clubs.
A year ago, Sunderland returned to the Premier League after a tumultuous season, and sporting director Florent Ghisolfi played a crucial role in assembling a squad that exceeded expectations. Now, he faces the challenge of repeating that feat in the current transfer window.
Ghisolfi is reportedly targeting Matias Soule, a Roma forward valued at around £30m, as part of Sunderland's bid to upgrade its attack. The classy Argentine forward has been mentioned alongside other intriguing names in Sunderland's transfer plans.
Ghisolfi has a personal connection to Soule, having signed him for Roma during his stint there, and clearly believes the player has the potential to succeed in the Premier League. Soule's representatives have also hinted at the player's desire to test himself in England's top flight.
With his youth, versatility, and talent, Soule could be a hit in the Premier League if Sunderland continues to perform well. His signing would be another impressive move from the Black Cats, following in the footsteps of their successful transfer business last summer.
Meanwhile, Arsenal is reportedly in the lead to sign Bruno Guimaraes, a player in high demand from several top clubs. Newcastle, which has sold a number of players this summer, is also being linked with potential incoming players as it looks to rebuild its squad.
