Southampton’s celebrations had barely subsided when they began planning their return to the Premier League. Adam Armstrong, a former striker for Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers, scored the decisive goal in the Championship play-off final against Leeds United. This victory ensured that Southampton’s stint in the second tier lasted just one season under the iconic Wembley arch. As the club prepares for the top flight, manager Russell Martin faces crucial decisions regarding players like Che Adams and Alex McCarthy, whose contracts are nearing their end at St Mary’s. Additionally, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Lyanco, and Duje Caleta-Car are set to return from loan spells, adding to the complexity of the squad overhaul needed for the Premier League. To address these challenges, new signings will be essential to enhance the squad’s quality and depth.

Despite a disappointing 16th-place finish in the Championship last season, Sunderland remains concerned about the potential departure of their top talents to higher-tier clubs this summer. Jack Clarke, who scored 15 goals for Sunderland, consistently served as a beacon of hope even when the team’s performance was lackluster. His impressive form has not gone unnoticed, with newly-promoted Southampton, under Russell Martin, reportedly preparing a significant bid for him. Similarly, Sunderland’s homegrown goalkeeper, Anthony Patterson, has been the subject of transfer speculation, attracting interest from Premier League clubs like Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
