Sunderland has turned its attention to Dayann Methalie, a promising left back from Toulouse, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

After a successful summer transfer window last year, where Sunderland revamped their squad following promotion, the club aims to make strategic additions this season. Despite a quieter transfer period, the Black Cats remain focused on enhancing their roster.

• Dayann Methalie has made 28 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, showcasing his readiness to transition to the Premier League.
• Reports from Football Insider indicate that Sunderland's manager Regis Le Bris and his team view Methalie as an ideal candidate for the top flight.

The club’s successful raid on Ligue 1 last season sets a positive precedent for this potential signing. With the added challenge of competing in the Europa League, Sunderland needs to bolster both depth and quality in their squad.

If the deal aligns with their budget, Methalie could become a key player for Sunderland as they aim to make an impact in the Premier League this season.
