Move over Mendy: Sunderland could reignite interest in exciting attacker
According to football journalist Darren Witcoop, many EFL teams are eyeing Fulham’s promising talent Jay Stansfield during this transfer window, following his impressive stint with Birmingham City last season. Birmingham City, with their substantial financial resources, seem to have an edge in the competition for Stansfield, having already entered negotiations for his return to St. Andrew’s despite his hefty price tag of over £5 million. While Sunderland has shown interest in the 21-year-old, Fulham’s high asking price might deter them. However, if Sunderland wants to make a strong statement after a disappointing 2023/24 season, they might consider going all in for Stansfield, who could be a significant upgrade over their current target.
