Sunderland’s most recent transfer links include Joe Gomez, Habib Diarra, Isaac Price, and more.
Sunderland’s return to the Premier League has created a wave of transfer speculation, and according to the latest reports, Kristjaan Speakman and Stuart Harvey could be planning a big summer. Here, however, we look at all of the most recent Black Cats-related transfer links from around the web:
Gomez headlines ambitious linkages.
Sunderland are once again connected with a surprise deal for Liverpool and England defender Joe Gomez, according to The Guardian.
The 28-year-old is reported to be available for move this summer, with Liverpool receptive to offers of around £30 million. Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, West Ham, Leeds, and Burnley are among the clubs interested in Gomez, who has made 149 Premier League appearances and earned 15 England caps. It would be a significant show of purpose for Sunderland, whose return to the Premier League has already spurred talk about high-profile signings.
Ligue 1, Millwall, and Celtic potential on radar
According to the Guardian, Sunderland is one of several clubs interested in signing Habib Diarra, a 20-year-old midfielder now at Strasbourg. The Senegalese youngster has been a revelation in Ligue 1 and is apparently attracting interest from all over Europe. He is valued at approximately £18.7 million.
The Black Cats are also reportedly keeping an eye on Cameron Carter-Vickers, with Leeds apparently interested in the Celtic center-back. The American international has been a vital figure in Scotland, having previously played for Tottenham and Bournemouth. Meanwhile, Japhet Tanganga is another defensive player in the mix. Sunderland are apparently competing with Crystal Palace for the Millwall defender, who had a solid second half to the 2024-25 season.
Sunderland sign West Brom’s Isaac Price.
Sunderland is one of three promoted clubs expressing interest in Isaac Price, a West Brom midfielder and Northern Ireland international. According to SportsBoom, the 21-year-old, who formerly played for Everton, has emerged as a target after a strong season for both club and country. Burnley and Portsmouth are also thought to be monitoring his situation closely.
Salis Abdul-Samed attracts interest.
Salis Abdul-Samed, a former loanee, is drawing interest in Germany after returning to RC Lens. The midfielder, who made 11 appearances for Sunderland before an injury ended his loan, is now a target for VfB Stuttgart, according to Africa Foot. The Bundesliga club is allegedly mulling a £5.1 million bid and has long liked the Ghanaian. Samed is believed to see the shift as a “major challenge” and is willing to make the transfer.
Ex-Black Cat returns to Brunton Park.
Finally, Morgan Feeney, a former Sunderland defender, has returned to Carlisle United after leaving Shrewsbury Town. Feeney has signed a two-year contract with the League Two club and will start on July 1. He made over 100 appearances during his previous time at Brunton Park and is anticipated to play an important role in the club’s development.
