AliousThere are several names who could yet move to Sunderland before the February 3rd transfer deadline. And among those are some very exciting names too.
Right now, fans are waiting to hear the news about Tom Cannon. The Leicester City forward is being heavily linked with a move away and the Black Cats are thought to be very keen.Sunderland could pay £13million for Cannon at the end of the season, or even in this January transfer window if Sheffield United keep up the pressure in this intensifying transfer battle.
Other names are wanted at the Stadium of Light too. Louie Barry is also liked by Sunderland but Aston Villa want a new contract for the winger before sending him out on loan in this month’s transfer window.
Another winger in Rabbi Matondo has now been linked as well. Rumours state that Sunderland have enquired about Matondo but that the Wales international has already agreed terms with an unnamed European club.Rangers ready to offload Sunderland target Rabbi Matondo
An emerging report from the popular and trusted Rangers podcast, Four Lads Had A Dream, has now revealed the latest on Matondo and his Rangers future. They write that the 24-year-old has been told to find a new club and that his time at Ibrox is over.
In three seasons at Rangers, left-sided winger Matondo has featured 44 times in the Scottish Premiership, scoring seven goals and grabbing three assists. But in this 2024/25 campaign, Matondo has two goals and two assists after just six games.His best ever season came with Cercle Brugge in 2021/22. The former Manchester City youth gem netted nine goals and made two assists in 26 league games, prompting Rangers to make a £2million bid to sign the Welshman.What Rangers boss Phillippe Clement has said about Rabbi Matondo
On Wednesday night, Rangers beat Aberdeen 3-0 in the Scottish Premiership. But Matondo was nowhere to be seen, left out the match day squad entirely amid rumours that he’s leaving Ibrox.
Afterwards the game, boss Phillippe Clement was asked about Matondo and his situation at Rangers. He said: “I can say about Rabbi that I made a choice, a sporting choice today to put two young lads (Bailey Rice and Zakariya Lovelace) on the bench because I think they are performing for the moment better.”Now with confirmation that Matondo is free to leave, it opens the door for Sunderland to swoop in and potentially make him their second signing of the January transfer window so far.
But not to forget, Matondo may already have a move to Europe lined up, and it could now be a matter of time. Expect to see some more on the winger in the coming days.
