Other stakeholders include Marseille, Lille and Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 (&amp;+p):mt-4 (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):inline-block (&amp;_strong:has(+br)):pb-2\">The striker ran a breakthrough campaign last season, scoring nine goals in League One, playing a key role in the French Under-21 team, and advanced to the European Championship semi-finals.<\/p>\n<p>He is definitely a talented young player with a bright future. He may have been a quality long-term investment for Sunderland. They have secured promotions to the Premier League and they want to stay on top flights.
