Premier League rookie changes his life

Sunderland have shown a strong shopping spree after returning to the top flight of English football, with a series of quality transfers.

The Black Cats have shown great ambition in their return to the Premier League after an 8-year absence.

According to The Times , Sunderland are close to signing Granit Xhaka, with Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan unable to afford the midfielder. The newly promoted Premier League side have shown great ambition in the transfer market.

The Black Cats have been actively strengthening their squad with a series of quality signings. Names such as Habib Diarra, Reinildo, Chemsdine Talbi, Noah Sadiki and Simon Adingra have been brought in to strengthen the squad, showing their determination to build a team capable of competing in the toughest tournament in England.

In particular, midfielder Habib Diarra broke the club's transfer record with a fee of 30 million pounds. It is worth mentioning that just a few weeks ago, the new recruit of the Premier League next season spent more than 25 million pounds to own midfielder Enzo Le Fée from AS Roma.

Before the summer of 2025, the record player purchase in Sunderland's history was the deal of Didier Ndong, who was signed from Lorient for £13.6 million in 2016. Spending more than £80 million in just the first few weeks of the 2025 summer transfer window shows the ambition of the "Black Cats".

However, Sunderland are still looking for an experienced midfielder to bolster their midfield, and earlier in the summer they made contact with former Arsenal player Matteo Guendouzi but failed to reach an agreement.

The North East club then turned to another high-profile target who had played in the Premier League: Granit Xhaka. At 32, Xhaka was considered the type of player suitable for Sunderland.

The Switzerland captain will bring top-flight experience and leadership qualities that Sunderland desperately need in the heart of midfield. Having secured their return to the Premier League after a long absence, Sunderland will have a budget of up to £100m to spend in the summer transfer window.
