Sunderland make transfer decision on Premier League striker as Alexandre Mendy pursuit continues
Sunderland continue to chase a new striker under Regis Le Bris but appear to be backing away from signing one Premier League forward.
The Black Cats have turned to Frenchman Roger Le Bris🍌 after a rather turbulent season last term.
Le Bris has made an encouraging start with wins over Cardiff City and Shef🍸field Weꦐdnesday providing some excitement.
Sunderland have kept two clean sheets and have seen young forward🍸 Eliezer Mayenda make a strong start to the season.
Le Bris still wants another striker though and Sunderland appear ready to mo📖ve on from one Premier L𝐆eague attacker.

Sunderland make Daniel Jebbison decision
Daniel Jebbison wa🔯lked away from Sheffield United this summer, completing a move to Bournemouth for £1.5million in compensation.
Jebbison is seen as one for the future at the Vitality ♍Stadium and the Cherries are prepared to loa🌜n him out.
Bournemouth delayed a loan exit after Dominic Solanke’s move to Tottenham Hotspur but are ready to sanction a🍨 departure no🐻w Brazilian striker Evanilson is on board.
Sunderland were keen on Jebbison earlier in Au𓆉gust, chasing a loan move to bol🌼ster the options for Le Bris.
However, now claim that Sunderland have backed away from ꦉa move to sign Jebbi♌son.
It’s claimed that Sunderland are ‘looking elsew♋here’ for a new striker with J꧂ebbison now expected to head elsewhere in the Championship.
Stoke City and Watford are understood to be leading the⛦ race for Jebbison having launched loan offers.
Portsm💜outh are also keen but currently look set to miss out to a Championship rival.
Jebbison is still expected to be in the B𓄧ournemouth squad against Newcastle United this weekend before then leaving on loan.
Sunderland’s pursuit of Alexandre Mendy
Sunderland appear to be backing away from Jebbisꦅon in order to continue their pursuit of Caen forward Alexandre Mendy.
Mendy has spent his entire ca🤪reer in French football and will be familiar to Le Bris.
The 30-ye𝄹ar-old – formerly of Nice and Bordeaux – is now with Caen and has racked up 65 goals in 142 games.
Sunderland are lo💙oking to swoop for ꧅Mendy and claim that he is ‘determined’ to secure a move to the Stadium of Light.
A deal for the Guinea-Bissau international appears to be the top priority for Sunderland – so much so that th🉐ey are willing to back away from the Jebbison race.
These are two very ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdifferent strikers; Jebbison is young and needs games where ꧂as Mendy has plenty of experience and would be viewed as an instant impact player.
With youngster Mayenda showing promise, perhaps Mendy suits what Sunderland need right now as Le Bris shapes his squad amid fears over Jack Clarke’s future.
