To secure promotion from the fiercely competitive Championship, Sunderland knows that attacking flair must be complemented by solid defensive work. The loan signing of Chris Mepham from AFC Bournemouth has added much-needed resilience at the back. Paired with Luke O’Nien, Mepham played a pivotal role in Sunderland’s 2-1 victory over Luton, delivering a near-flawless performance that included 11 crucial clearances. His combative display helped shut down Luton’s attack, earning him an 8/10 rating from Sunderland Echo, with journalist Phil Smith praising his key role during Luton’s relentless pressure. Now three points clear at the top of the league, Sunderland’s confidence is soaring as they prepare for their next challenge.

Following a challenging season, Sunderland is now turning its focus to the transfer market to strengthen their squad for the 2024/25 campaign. The club’s 16th place finish in the league has necessitated significant changes, with numerous player futures under review. Stability is crucial, as the club seeks a new manager who can effectively lead and develop their young squad.

One key target for Sunderland should be Welsh international striker Kieffer Moore. Despite last season’s signings only managing a combined total of three goals, Moore’s proven track record in the Championship—scoring 54 goals in 173 appearances—makes him an ideal candidate to bolster Sunderland’s attack. His experience and goal-scoring prowess could be transformative, potentially elevating the team from mid-table to top-six contenders. With Moore’s future at Bournemouth uncertain, Sunderland could secure him for a favorable fee, making his acquisition a strategic priority for the upcoming season.
