Sunderland has been mentioned as one of several clubs vying to sign Celtic midfielder Arne Engels this summer, according to Tuttomercatoweb. The Black Cats will contend with Nottingham Forest, Fulham, and Napoli for the 22-year-old Belgian's signature. Engels showcased his talent last season in the Scottish Premiership, making 46 appearances for Celtic, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists. His current contract with Celtic runs until summer 2028, which may complicate Sunderland's efforts to acquire him at a reasonable price. Should Sunderland secure Engels, he could strengthen their midfield under head coach Regis Le Bris.
