Wow: Sunderland now preparing bid for “absolute top talent” in the coming days 

According to a recent report by writer Santi Aouna, Sunderland is reportedly preparing an offer for a 23-year-old striker who has scored a goal every two league games this season.Sporting CP is attempting to get Marcus Edwards out of the door for a large portion of the winter transfer window, therefore Sunderland should be able to work out a good agreement with them for his loan.

Sporting reportedly sought €20–30 million to let go of the Englishman throughout the summer. Although it always seemed like a lofty goal, what has transpired since has caused his worth to drop to the point where no one wants to pay €8 million for him. Rui Borges has reportedly barred the 26-year-old from the Sporting squad due to a number of disciplinary issues. This season, Edwards has played fewer than 400 minutes of football; his most recent game was in November. According to Friday’s edition of the Record, Burnley is also interested, although Sunderland is the front-runner.

Although it is once again reported that Sporting “are struggling to place him,” Edwards is described as being “close to the exit door.” According to reports, Sunderland and Burnley communicated to discuss the terms of a deal, with the Black Cats being portrayed as the more desirable choice. Edwards just switched agents, but even that didn’t help him gain the attention he might think he deserves. A loan might be available, according to the Portuguese media, and Sunderland may be considering that option.
