Regis Le Bris remains uncertain about how the recent signing of Aaron Connolly will impact Nazariy Rusyn’s future at Sunderland but believes the Ukrainian forward can still contribute in the months ahead. With Ahmed Abdullahi out injured, Le Bris emphasized the need for three strikers in his squad, leading to the move for free agent Connolly. However, once Connolly is fit after the October international break, Rusyn may find himself lower in the pecking order. Despite limited game time so far this season, Le Bris highlighted the importance of healthy competition, noting that the added depth will push all three players to perform at their best.

Newcastle United have made significant strides in securing youth talent in recent years, but one missed opportunity that may linger is their failure to land Sunderland’s rising star, Chris Rigg. The 17-year-old midfielder, long tracked by Newcastle, has instead blossomed at Sunderland, where his match-winning goal in the recent Wear-Tees derby solidified his place in the senior team. Although Newcastle made a strong attempt to sign him in 2023, Sunderland convinced Rigg to stay with promises of first-team minutes, and he has since signed his first professional contract. Now, with Manchester United also circling, Newcastle’s chances of landing the young talent seem to be slipping away.
