Sunderland seeks right-wing options amid transfer challenges this summer
Summary

Sunderland aims to strengthen its right-wing position during the summer transfer window. The club needs to address the departure of Bertrand Traoré, whose contract was not renewed, and Simon Adingra's uncertain future. With only Jocelin Ta Bi as a primary option and concerns regarding his adaptation, management is evaluating potential signings. Amad Diallo, previously a fan favorite, is reportedly not for sale by Manchester United, complicating Sunderland's efforts to recruit talent on the right. The club ranked 17th in league goals last season, emphasizing the need for increased offensive contributions from wingers.
