Sunderland looking to beat Newcastle to the signing of highly-rated AFCON star

Sunderland’s rise since returning to the top flight has not only caught the eyes of fans across the country but has also shifted the club’s sights toward the elite of European talent.

No longer content with merely surviving, the Black Cats are reportedly preparing to battle some of the Premier League’s biggest heavyweights for the next generation of midfield stars.

According to a fresh report from TEAMtalk, Sunderland have identified Monaco’s Lamine Camara and Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi as primary targets.
