Sunderland targets Lucas Stassin as summer transfer option

Summary

Sunderland is in pursuit of Saint-Etienne striker Lucas Stassin, according to the Sunderland Echo, with interest reported ahead of the summer transfer window. The Black Cats face competition from FC Porto for the 21-year-old, who recently scored 11 goals and provided nine assists in 35 matches last season. Stassin’s contract runs until 2028, complicating potential negotiations. Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris aims to enhance his squad's attacking options, though questions remain about Stassin’s adaptation to the Premier League's intensity.
