Here, TBR take a look at an exciting EFL talent who Sunderland should look to add to their ranks this summer transfer window.

Sunderland 🏅have endured a pretty underwhelming season by all𝄹 accounts, particularly after a top-six finish last term.

Replacing Tony Mowbray with Mi✅chael Beale didn’t work out and they’ve been in limbo since then under Mike Dodds’ stewardship.

Though, the future looks bright at the Stadium of Lig♑ht as links to former Reims manager🐼 WIll Still continue to intensify.

That said, t⛄hey will need to make additions in the fast-approaching window andꦛ here is one player they should try to sign.

Sunderland should try to sign Kwame Poku

Kwam🍌e Poku has set League One alight this term and has produced a phenomenal 20-goal contribut♛ion haul for Peterborough United this season.

The left-footed wide pl✅ayer, who has been capped by Ghana, has looked a level above the third tier in truth and there is little doubt he’d be able to ply his trade at Championship level.

With Posh currently battling it out in t💜he playoffs, any forthcoming deal may depend on what division they end up in, but Poku is certainly a player Sunderland chiefs should be keeping tabs on.

The EFL w🍌hizz can operate on both flanks but he primarily plays on the right, which would add great balance❀ to The Black Cats.

If Jack Clarke r﷽emains, he’ll need much of the load to be taken off🔯 his shoulders, as they’ve become over-reliant on his output.

So Pok💟u could be the perfect addition and one that’d be attainable for a reasonable fee.

The cost of Kwame Poku

So, how much would Peterborough demand for Poku?

Well, Posh sanctioned the sale of Ephron Mason-Clark to Coventr🧸y City during the Janaury transfer window for a fee believed to be worth in excess of .

So that may be the benchmark for Poku, who aged𒅌 22, is a couple of years younger than United’s talisman.

Further, P🍬oku has a number of suitors eyeing a 🎃move for him, which will only drive the price tag up.

According to , Ipswich Town, West Bromwich Albion, Millwall, Bristol City and Stoke are all monitoring him, along with Sunderland.ꦐ

So competition is rife for Posh’s maverick.
