Sunderland pursues late transfers as deadline day arrives
Summary

Sunderland sporting director Florent Ghisolfi and head coach Régis Le Bris are targeting up to three new signings before the transfer deadline. Negotiations for Austria international Kevin Danso are reportedly in an advanced stage to provide defensive depth. Conversely, the expected transfer of Marseille winger Igor Paixão is unlikely to proceed due to issues with the French club’s registration. Other potential targets identified by the recruitment team include Geny Catamo, Malick Fofana, and Matias Soulé. Meanwhile, the club is managing squad departures, with Jocelin Ta Bi expected to join Burnley on loan. Additionally, forward Brian Brobbey remains a subject of late interest from Como, though no official offers have been made for the player.
