Sunderland are plotting an ambitious move for Ligue 1 midfield duo Lamine Camara and Ayyoub Bouaddi ahead of next summer.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Sunderland are set to build on the success of their transfer activity and how the season has panned out so far, to bring in quality players in future windows. The Black Cats are now keen to land Ligue 1 midfield duo Lamine Camara and Ayyoub Bouaddi next summer but face huge competition in the market.
Ligue 1 continues to produce some of the most prodigious talents in recent years, as they now have two midfield stars who are attracting massive interest. AS Monaco’s Lamine Camara and LOSC Lille’s Ayyoub Buaddi are those players, considered to have a massive upside for the future, with Premier League clubs already chasing their signatures.
Camara and Bouaddi have piqued the interest of some big clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, with their respective clubs already anticipating big offers in the summer. In the case of the Ligue 1 midfield duo, Sunderland are the latest to enter the race.
Camara has excelled at AS Monaco and is widely seen as a big player for the present and future, while Bouaddi is also considered in the same vein. The latter was the subject of big interest from Manchester United, as well as Arsenal, before signing a new deal at LOSC Lille until 2029, but that was more to protect his value.
Bouaddi is also a target for Chelsea, with the Blues set to continue their ambitious plans to bring in the best young profiles from around. However, Sunderland have entered the race for the Ligue 1 midfield duo in a big way, as they plan the next steps in their evolution as a big team in the Premier League.
Can Sunderland make statement signings?
As a matter of fact, Sunderland can make some statement signings to evolve the club, as they have already shown big signs. After a huge summer, the Black Cats have now established themselves as a big force in the Premier League upon their return to the English top flight. While they are widely expected to stay in the division, there’s a big possibility they could finish in one of the European places.
However, to continue their growth and push themselves to new heights, the Black Cats are already looking ahead to future windows. The prospect of signing the Ligue 1 midfield duo could be designed for next summer, with the club likely to make a push for Camara and Bouaddi ahead of their rivals.
