Can the Black Cats land Soule?

Soulé has been a key player for them, and they will not want to lose him easily. Sunderland will have to pay a premium in order to get the deal done. According to reports, the player could cost around £30 million. It remains to be seen whether Sunderland is prepared to break the bank for him.

The 23-year-old is a versatile attacker who can operate across the front three and will help create opportunities for his teammates and score goals. He is still young, and regular football in England could bring out the best in him.

Soulé has 12 goals and 13 assists in 81 matches for Roma since joining the club.
