Sunderland made a shock attempt to sign the attacker similar to the star of Arsenal Gyokerres
The last two Premier League seasons have seen the three newly promoted teams instantly relegated, but Sunderland takes big blows on the transfer market to break the model.
Of the ten largest signatures of the Black Cats, six of them came to this transfer window. The most expensive group was the 21 -year -old midfielder Habib Diarra, who joined Strasbourg for 30 million pounds sterling.
Regisle The Bris has brought a good mixture of players who varied in their positions and their age profiles. Unabved young people like Noah Sadiki and Chemsdine Talbi were balanced with experienced professionals like Granite Xhaka and Reinildo Mandava.
These new signatures integrated into the winning team of Le BRIS qualifiers are already doing a team that is well located to fight for survival, but Sunderland is not finished, because it has been revealed that they pushed to call on a proven premier league attacker.
Sunderland moved the shock for Calvert-Lewin
Alex Crook de Talksport reported that Sunderland had approached Calvert-Lewin earlier in the window. Calvert-Lewin is currently a free agent after the expiration of his contract with Everton. While Sunderland has already displayed a desire to be daring this transfer window, a decision for a player in England would be a big declaration.
Crook’s report indicates that at that time, the negotiations between the two parties stalled due to Calvert-Lewin’s desire to play for a club higher on the table. The Englishman was also linked to moves to Manchester United and Leeds; However, Ruben Amorim’s team appears about to sign Benjamin Sesko, and Leeds was put off by its salary requests which would have been £ 100,000 per week.
At 5.2 million pounds sterling per year in wages plus potential signature costs, a decision for the attacker seems to be achievable to Sunderland, given to what extent they have already been willing to spend this window. Interestingly, when Calvert-Lewin was linked to a move to Old Trafford, Alan Pardew said controversial that “on their day, there is not much between” him and the new Arsenal striker, Viktor Gykerres.
Since these negotiations took place, Sunderland has signed Marc Guiu de Chelsea on loan, but as Calvert-Lewin is a free agent, they could easily return to him if he does not find a preferable club.
Calvert-Lewin defensive value
Numerous Sunderland fans may wonder why they seek to sign an attacker who has not recorded more than 11 goal involvement in one of the last four seasons. However, as Calvert-Lewin’s danger before the goal has decreased, his “first defender” capacities have improved.
Compared to some of the best league attackers, Calvert-Lewin has radically outperformed them in many defensive actions.

The broken may not see Calvert-Lewin as an attacker who will get goal bags and maintain Sunderland, but as a rotation player who can see the matches and defend himself before, helping to guarantee that Sunderland does not concede too much late goals.
In this sense, the signatures of Guiu and Calvert-Lewin could work well together because they offer the broken multiple options depending on the situation.
