£10m striker arrives, Patterson stays – Sunderland’s dream team if transfer rumours are true – gallery
The January transfer market is rapidly approaching, and Sunderland is already the subject of a good deal of conjecture.
One of the most prominent rumours circulating right now is about Jordan Henderson’s future. According to reports, the Black Cats academy product is trying to finalise a move away from Ajax in January since he isn’t getting enough playing time. Sunderland is one of the teams being tipped for a possible swoop in light of this, with The Sun speculating that a return to the Stadium of Light “may be on the cards.”
“Going back to Sunderland makes sense,” former Black Cats striker Darren Bent stated earlier this week in reference to Henderson’s possible return to Sunderland. His club is that one. That was his starting point. I had a game with him there. He has had an incredible career, and the fans would like him too. Take a look at his accomplishments and what he has done for England. His career has been amazing.
But how would Sunderland be positioned come January if all of these rumours turn out to be accurate? Below, we’ve closely examined Regis Le Bris’ possible starting lineup and bench.

2. LB: Dennis Cirkin
Arguably one of Sunderland’s brightest performers this season, the left-back has made such a difference since making his return to the starting XI.
3. RB: Trai Hume
Ever dependable, the Northern Irishman has impressed again this season and is one of the first names on Régis Le Bris’ teamsheet.
4. CB: Chris Mepham
The loanee has been quite solid since being thrown in at the deep end due to Dan Ballard’s injury problems this season, and at this moment, the shirt is undoubtedly his to lose.
