Just two points away from the automatic promotion spot championship The dining table at this moment, Sunderland Hopefully they can finally return to the Premier League in 2025.

The Black Cats, who once dropped to League One, are now back in the promotion hunt for the second tier, away from those still lingering nightmares, with two league wins so far in January.

Regis Lebris It is hoped that he will be supported in the January transfer window to increase the team’s chances of dream promotion, with a strong striker attracting much attention.

Sunderland are looking for a striker

as reported earlier this weekSunderland are still in the race to sign Stoke City sharpshooter Tom Cannon this month, with his parent club Leicester City potentially prepared to send him elsewhere away from lower-tier Potters.

Sheffield United are also keen on the services of the clinical 22-year-old, so it remains to be seen whether the Black Cats will come out on top or if Chris Wilder’s side do have the upper hand in the ongoing transfer scramble observe.

If Wearside are to sign the current Stoke City hero, fans at the Stadium of Light will be praying that the Ireland international is a striker similar to former goal machine Ross Stewart, while Sander Lang arguably never replaced Ross Stewart.

He could also provide the Black Cats with another valuable option – away from any bold comparisons – and looks likely to be a back-up option Aaron Connolly to leave for Millwall There is no doubt that Wilson Isidore has been wary when the lenders arrived.

What Cannon can offer Sunderland

Cannon has been a lethal finisher for Stoke City this season, although the Staffordshire side’s season has come to an end. nine strikes Statistics in tournament action. To add more context, Isidor is a short He leads the league in that total as the leading figure in the Black Cats’ attack.

Now in the EFL, he is known as a reliable poacher, considering “crazy” Sharpshooter – as football journalist Pete Smith labeled him earlier this season – shot 19 Career Goals Having impressed in the Championship during a number of productive loan spells, playing alongside creative faces such as Job Bellingham, he has every chance of succeeding at Sunderland.

In addition to these secondary heroics, Cannon also took a ridiculous shot at the team. 51 goals In total he played for a number of Everton’s youth teams before moving to Leicester City and the 5ft 11 ace could become a regular for the Black Cats as they assess their similar lethality in front of goal. Stewart next.

In fact, Stewart was a ruthless attacker for Sunderland when he was still on the Wearside club’s books and his performances were impressive 40 strikes The team made progress in 80 clashes before moving to Southampton, but were hampered by recurring injury problems.

Amazingly, even in his final season at the Stadium of Light due to injury, the always-dangerous Scot still managed 10 goals in 13 league games with a devastating frequency level. 104 minutes

Cannon can also ignite tension in an instant, as was evident against Sunderland in the FA Cup last time out when he scored a fine penalty with four minutes remaining.

With Connolly’s departure set to be announced, Le Bris does need more replacement options and if the move does go through, he may find his best replacement in the form of Cannon.
