Promoted to the Premier League, they will need to strengthen their team this summer. A trustworthy goalkeeper could be a great acquisition for them. Sunderland will want to prove himself in the Premier League next season and aim to avoid relegation. They need more quality and depth of the team to survive on top flights.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>68 goals in 79 games: Leeds and Sunderland handed the opportunity to land the goal machine<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunderlands_move_could_have_been_exciting_for_Dmytro_Riznyk\"><\/span>Sunderland&#8217;s move could have been exciting for Dmytro Riznyk<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-414x276.jpg.webp 414w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-630x420.jpg.webp 630w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-768x512.jpg.webp 768w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-770x513.jpg.webp 770w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-900x600.jpg.webp 900w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-1200x800.jpg.webp 1200w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w,https:\/\/icdn.caughtoffside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/bologna-fc-1909-v-fc-shakhtar-donetsk-uefa-champions-league-2024-25-league-phase-md1-1-2048x1365.jpg.webp 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(min-width:1230px) 770px, (min-width:1020px) 630px, (min-width:900px) 880px, (min-width:680px) 97vw, (min-width:414px) 414px, 100vw\"><\/source><\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dmytro Riznyk of FC Shakhtar Donetsk during the UEFA Champions League.
