Sunderland are monitoring Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Arthur Avom. The club finished seventh in the league, with 54 points from 38 games, and recent form WWDDL.

What's happening?

Sunderland face another Premier League season and Europa League commitments. Bild claims Union Berlin are tracking Avom and could move this summer, and that Bournemouth and Sunderland are also monitoring the Cameroon international.

Why it matters for Sunderland

The 21-year-old defensive midfielder made 31 Ligue 1 appearances last season, with two goals and one assist, and already has senior caps. Le Bris knows the French market well from his Lorient background. Midfield competition is strong, but European football could push Sunderland to assess younger, high-upside options.

What comes next?

The West Ham Way reports that Everton are keen on Wan-Bissaka, with Sunderland, Newcastle United, Fulham and Fenerbahce also watching the 28-year-old full-back’s situation. The same report suggests Everton are currently the most advanced and that a fee of £15-20 million could be sought. Wan-Bissaka has extensive top-flight experience with Crystal Palace, Manchester United and West Ham. Sunderland already have Trai Hume and Nordi Mukiele on the right, and Hume’s versatility offers cover. For now, the Wan-Bissaka link looks one to watch rather than anything advanced. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 7th in League, 54 pts, 14W-12D-12L from 38 games | | Recent form | WWDDL | | Last result | Sunderland 2-1 Chelsea (2026-05-24)
