Sunderland's Ambitious Transfer Target

Sunderland is reportedly interested in signing 19-year-old Uruguayan striker Luciano Rodriguez from Liverpool of Montevideo. The head of recruitment, Stuart Harvey, was recently in South America scouting the talented teenager.

Funds from Ross Stewart Sale

Sunderland has the financial means to pursue Rodriguez thanks to the £8 million transfer of Ross Stewart to Southampton over the summer. The Black Cats are looking to move quickly as Rodriguez is eager to make a move to Europe.

Transfer Battle for Nathaniel Adjei

Sunderland is not only involved in a transfer battle with fierce rivals Middlesbrough over 21-year-old rising star Nathaniel Adjei. Championship promotion rivals Preston North End are also interested in securing the Ghanaian defender on loan in January.

Wide Range of Interest

Adjei's impressive performances have caught the attention of teams beyond the UK. Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers have already been tracking him, while clubs in Belgium and Italy have also expressed interest in the talented center back.
