Sunderland began their Premier League season with a 3-0 victory over West Ham United.
They spent a lot this summer, but they still hope to continue the transfer business on the last day of the transfer window.

Sunderland is set to experience defeat in Alexander Mitrovich Chase
The newly promoted side is targeting the move of Al-Hilal’s attacker, Alexander Mitrovich, but according to Givemesport, the striker will refuse to move to Sunderland.

Black cats are unlikely to succeed in an ambitious attempt to lure Serb strikers into British football despite weeks of genuine interest from Sunderland’s manager.
The 30-year-old forward enjoyed the 2024/25 season with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal.
While Wearside Club made its initial enquiries and discussed possible deals, GMS sources indicate that the potential breakthrough has effectively ended.
Mitrovich hopes to move to London this summer

This revelation is a bitter blow to Sunderland. Sunderland hoped their projects and Premier League status might be enough to persuade the strikers to embark on a new chapter in the Northeast.
Instead, Mitrovich is thought to appreciate opportunities close to the capital, and previously enjoyed successful spells with Fulham.
With the summer transfer deadline approaching, Sunderland could now be forced to focus on alternative forward options.
Lewdly optimistic about pulling away one of the window’s shocks, Lubry needs to reevaluate his plan of attack.
