Sunderland appear to be gearing up for a busy January transfer window, with several potential departures reportedly on the horizon. While the Black Cats faced another Championship match on Tuesday amid a packed schedule, the club’s decision-makers are already focused on preparations for the winter transfer period.
Sunderland’s January Transfer Plans
Sunderland have enjoyed an impressive season so far under the guidance of Regis Le Bris, with the team adapting well to their new manager and positioning themselves as contenders for a Premier League spot next season.
The upcoming January transfer window could play a pivotal role in their campaign, with recent links to players like Wigan Athletic’s Sam Tickle and Peterborough United’s Kwame Poku suggesting that funds are available for reinforcements. In a recent interview with Sunderland’s media team, sporting director Kristjaan Speakman shared insights into the club’s approach to business in the winter window.
He stated, “The first priority is evaluating the squad. I believe we’re in a strong position, and the team is in a great place. We’ve done a lot of preparation, but we need to stay focused, act decisively, and respond quickly during the January window. I’m very optimistic about what we can accomplish.”
