Having already signed Enzo Le Fee and lost Jobe Bellingham to Borussia Dortmund, Sunderland are now reportedly looking to continue a busy start to their summer by signing "one of England's brightest prospects".

Sunderland looking to add to Le Fee

Losing Bellingham to Dortmund is undoubtedly a major blow for Regis Le Bris, but the Black Cats have also already completed business of their own by signing Le Fee on a permanent deal. The talented midfielder will officially arrive on July 1 and will be aiming to pick up where he left off following a successful loan spell from AS Roma last season.

Speaking to the club website after arriving on a permanent basis, the Frenchman said: "I said before the play-off final that my heart was in Sunderland – I wanted to stay, and this made it the most important game of my life. Together, we did it.

"From the moment I arrived, I have enjoyed my football, my team-mates, and our supporters. We shared an incredible experience, and now we get to take the next step. There are greater challenges ahead, but we must face them together, and I can't wait to play for Sunderland in the Premier League."

Those at the Stadium of Light won't want to stop there on the incomings front, however. They've already reportedly set their sights on further arrivals this summer, which could yet include Wolverhampton Wanderers' Tommy Doyle.

The young midfielder could be an ideal replacement for Bellingham and may finally realise his potential courtesy of a move to Wearside. It's there that he could also be joined by another emerging Premier League talent.

Sunderland plotting Samuels-Smith swoop

According to TeamTalk, Sunderland are now plotting a loan move to sign Ishe Samuels-Smith this summer. The Chelsea left-back has impressed at academy level and the Blues are now looking to send him out on loan for the season to gain much-needed minutes at senior level. Given their positive reputation with young players, Sunderland would arguably be the perfect destination for the 19-year-old.

Samuels-Smith is certainly a highly-rated player and that's been reflected by the praise of David Unsworth. The former Everton U21s manager told TeamTalk: “Ishe is an incredibly talented young man who I know really well. A very talented left-sided defender, either left-back or centre-back, with an incredible future ahead of him.

“He’s got great parents behind him who support him. He also has a very talented brother, Odin, who is still at Everton. The next step for Ishe would maybe be to go out on loan to get exposure to first team football – that’s if he can’t get into the Chelsea team! He’s only 18 [now 19] and is one of England’s brightest prospects, certainly at his age.”

After losing Bellingham, Sunderland should be desperate to add another talented young player to their ranks and chasing Samuels-Smith's signature would offer them the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.
