Droevig nieuws voor Westerlo: talentvolle spits heeft een transfer ter waarde van € 15 miljoen goedgekeurd

 

Sunderland have been linked with a move for Westerlo striker Matija Frigan, with the Black Cats and the Belgian First Division side trying to thrash out the framework of a deal.

The Wearsiders are understood to be pushing for an initial loan deal with a €15m/£12.6m obligation to buy the 21-year-old should they win promotion to the Premier League this season.

 

However, the Belgian outfit would reportedly favour Sunderland purchasing the Croatian youth international outright this month, with a figure of €7m/£5.9m being stated as their asking price.

So, which of these two deals would provide better value to the Championship promotion chasers, or should Sunderland take their money elsewhere? To find out, we asked our Black Cats fan pundit, Jordan Newcombe.

In response to our question regarding whether Sunderland should pursue either of the reported deals for Frigan this month, Newcombe believes that spending big-money on an unproven commodity wouldn’t be in the club’s best interests this month.
