Sunderland is reportedly interested in signing Dayann Methalie, a left back from Toulouse who has impressed in the French league. The Black Cats had a successful summer last year, making significant changes to their squad after promotion to the Premier League. This year has been quieter, but they are expected to make some key additions to their team.
Methalie played 28 times in Ligue 1 last season for Toulouse and appears to be ready for a step up to the Premier League. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris and his staff are believed to consider the youngster as a prime candidate for a move to England. The club's success in raiding Ligue 1 last season makes it unsurprising that they are interested in another player from the league.
The upcoming Europa League campaign will require Sunderland to add depth and quality to their squad, and signing Methalie could be a shrewd move. The club will be looking to make smart signings at the right price, and this deal seems like an obvious one to pursue. Sunderland's ability to secure such signings will be crucial in their efforts to compete in the Premier League.
In other news, Barcelona star Marc Casado is contemplating a departure from the club this summer and has certain expectations for his new team. Meanwhile, Chelsea is considering Diogo Costa as a potential target, although there are doubts about whether they would be willing to spend the required €60m to sign him.
