Sunderland Advances Talks to Sign Roko Simic

Sunderland is advancing in negotiations to sign Roko Simic, a 20-year-old striker from Red Bull Salzburg, as he has arrived on Wearside to complete the transfer formalities. Simic, who has one year left on his contract, is expected to undergo a medical after terms are finalized between the clubs. Additionally, Sunderland is also looking to secure two strikers this summer, including Zenit St Petersburg's Wilson Isidor, who is likely to join on loan. Isidor's move is backed by Sunderland's head coach, who has a history with him from his time at Rennes. These potential signings come amid interest from Ipswich Town for Sunderland's Jack Clarke, indicating a busy transfer window for the Black Cats. Sunderland's current squad recently showcased their attacking prowess in a win against Sheffield Wednesday, further motivating the drive for new talent.
