Sunderland is interested in signing Lyon striker Georges Micatazze this summer.
The 24-year-old is expected to move, and it will be interesting to see if the newly promoted Premier League side can make the deal. He stood out in his French outfit last season, scoring 17 goals. He was able to pick up nine assists along the way.
The Striker has recently been linked to West Ham.
Georges Mikautadze improves Sunderland
If they can get the deal done, there’s no doubt that he can prove to be a great addition to Sunderland. They have secured promotions to the Premier League and are looking to establish themselves as patrons on top flights. They wouldn’t want to go back to the championship at the end of the season.
They need quality signatures and Georgian International will be a great acquisition. Lyon has been relegated to the second division of French football due to financial problems and could lose multiple key players. Sunderland wants to use the situation to close the transaction, according to Footmercato.
Nottingham Forest is also enthusiastic
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest is also interested in signing the striker, according to Republican Lorraine.
Evangelos Marinakis, owner of the English Club, has a close relationship with John Text, co-owner of Lyon. It will be interesting to see if Nottingham Forest can get trades across the line.
Anyone who ultimately ended up signing to the age of 24 could have an incredible wealth in his hand. The players have the physicality and technical attributes to get along well in the Premier League. He proved to be a great acquisition for both teams.
He will try to prove himself in British football, and that may help him secure a move to a larger club in the future.
