The transfer window is now open – and Sunderland have already concluded some early business.
Alex Bas has departed to Notts County on a permanent deal after spending last season out on loan at AFC Wimbledon. The former Portsmouth man has been replaced at Sunderland by former Coventry City player Simon Moore, with the deals confirmed by the club earlier this month.
The Wearsiders have also installed Régis Le Bris as the club’s new head coach with the 48-year-old Frenchman signing a three-year deal. All eyes have now turned towards the transfer market once again ahead of the 2024-25 season.
