Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris has outlined his strategy for Romaine Mundle amid interest from Rangers. The Scottish club has reportedly expressed a desire to acquire the young talent this January.
Sunderland’s Recent Performance
The Black Cats recently faced a setback after losing 3-0 to Brentford, breaking their unbeaten run of five matches. Currently, Sunderland sits at tenth place in the Premier League table after 21 games, reflecting a solid first half of the season since their promotion.
Transfer Window Plans
As the transfer window remains open, Le Bris confirmed that Sunderland will be “opportunistic.” The club aims to make strategic signings while also offloading fringe players. The manager stated a commitment to engaging in discussions with players seeking more playing time.
Player Profile: Romaine Mundle
- Mundle has appeared in only eight matches this season.
- He joined Sunderland in February 2024 from Standard Liege.
- So far, Mundle has scored six goals for the Black Cats.
Le Bris indicated that the club prioritizes its project and players’ welfare. He emphasized that if any player, including Mundle, is not receiving adequate minutes, a suitable arrangement can be sought elsewhere.
Potential Moves
In addition to Mundle, teammate Dan Neil is also reportedly on Rangers’ radar. A loan move for Mundle to Ibrox appears to be a possibility as transfer negotiations progress.
Future Considerations
The club’s focus also includes ensuring that out-of-favor players, such as left-back Arthur Masuaku, secure more game time. With the World Cup approaching, player development remains crucial.
Meanwhile, French midfielder Matteo Guendouzi was previously linked to Sunderland but opted to move to Turkish club Fenerbahce.
As the transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on how Sunderland navigates their roster changes and whether Mundle makes the move to Rangers before the deadline.
