Sunderland have enjoyed a remarkable rise, securing a seventh-place Premier League finish and earning a place in next season’s Europa League proper. Manager Regis Le Bris has spoken candidly about the need for greater squad depth, citing “three to four” new additions required on top of the existing options.
