🗞️ Kyril Louis-Dreyfus addresses Stadium of Light future amid expansion possibility and changed plans #SAFC

I'm glad he's landed on his feet. Club and player were perfect for each other when he signed, he wasn't meant to be league one player and we weren't meant to be a league one club but that's where we found ourselves. He'll always have a home in Sunderland and nothing lasts forever #SAFC

🚨 𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗞 𝗥𝗢𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗧𝗦 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗟𝗨𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 🚨 😭 Admits sadness after leaving ⚽ Wasn't pushed out by the club ❤️ Loved every minute on Wearside 🏟️ Sunderland became his home 🔄 Why it was the right time to move #SAFC

😮 Kyril Louis-Dreyfus’ ruthless streak is emerging at Sunderland: Five-year project ✅ Double promotion ✅ Now recalibration 🤨 👀 Why Speakman’s exit is less implosion, more evolution – with phrase two underway... My take on what it all means ⬇️

📹 Virgil van Dijk talks about Brian Brobbey and Sunderland’s season in the Premier League #SAFC

Probably the highest-profile player I’ve ever asked a question to. A proper pinch-yourself moment. My first ever post-match player interview for The Echo was Tom Flanagan at Gillingham. Last night, it was Virgil van Dijk. Football’s mad. #SAFC

Exclusive story confirmed by Le Bris this afternoon. For those wondering what the explanation was. #SAFC

An unbelievable season. A tremendous summer. An exciting end to January. And yet… the morning after deadline day came with a quiet sense of sadness once the noise faded. Full piece here ⬇️ #SAFC

🚨 Understand Sunderland have parted ways with assistant head coach Luciano Vulcano by mutual consent. The 37-year-old joined Le Bris’ coaching staff in the summer and was not on the bench for the Burnley win. The club are expected to continue with their existing staff. #SAFC

Some post-match thoughts after the Burnley game... Sunderland fans can relax. The stats, the response, the mentality – and what this win told us. Can we now dream of more? Full piece here: #SAFC 🔴⚪️

With that result we've made up 45 points on Burnley in less than a season...

✍️ Nilson Angulo is a Sunderland player! ✅ The 22-year-old winger joins from Anderlecht on a four-and-a-half-year deal, with a club option for an extra year. 🇪🇨⚡️ #SAFC

🚨 Simon Adingra has completed a loan move to AS Monaco, with Sunderland confirming an option to buy is included. ✅ That clears the way for Nilson Angulo – done and dusted, with confirmation expected in due course. The dominoes fall. Deadline day is over. #SAFC

Sunderland's team tonight. Habib Diarra and Chemsdine Talbi start. Romaine Mundle and Eliezer Mayenda drop to the bench. Thoughts? #SAFC

🚨 The transfer window slams shut (for dramatic effect)! Still very optimistic. Think Sunderland’s transfer dominoes have fallen into place. Expect Adil Aouchiche’s move to Schalke to go through very soon, with the rest following in due course. #SAFC

🗞️ Per sources, Romaine Mundle isn’t going anywhere on deadline day despite reports linking him with Coventry City. 🗣️ Régis Le Bris has already made it clear he wants the winger to stay at Sunderland. One to file under not happening. #SAFC

🚨 Sources have played down links between Sunderland and Dwight McNeil, with the Everton winger not currently on the club’s radar. 🔄 The main focus remains on two deals: Nilson Angulo (incoming) and Simon Adingra (outgoing). #SAFC

🫡 Sunderland transfer situation as it stands: ➡️ Patrick Roberts – gone ➡️ Leo Hjelde – loaned out ➡️ Simon Adingra – loan w/option ➡️ Aouchiche – set to leave 🔜 Angulo – incoming Busy window on Wearside… 👀⏳

🚨 EXCL: Harrison Jones is set to stay at Sunderland on deadline day, with Matty Young also remaining at Salford City. 🔍 More on their short and long-term futures on the website here... ⬇️ #SAFC

🚨 Morning Sunderland transfer update: 🔴 Sheffield United want Leo Hjelde 🔵 Adil Aouchiche heading to Schalke ❌ Geertruida to Liverpool is off 🔵 Everton closing in on Tyrique George 👀 Loose and unlikely Endrick link emerges #SAFC

Best of luck Patto.

If you are enjoying Sunderland’s season, you should thank Anthony Patterson for laying the foundations: 🏟️ Two play-off finals 📈 Double promotion 💥 Big moments delivered 🧤 Saves when it mattered 🤍 Calm amid the chaos Full piece here... #SAFC

🧤 Anthony Patterson’s loan move to Championship side Millwall has been confirmed. ↪️ The Sunderland goalkeeper links up again with former head coach Alex Neil. #SAFC

✅ Understand Anthony Patterson has passed his medical at Millwall. 👍 Loan move to re-join former boss Alex Neil likely to be concluded this afternoon. #SAFC

I watched Lutsharel Geertruidia play with Harrison Jones and Finn Geragusian for Sunderland U21s last week. Next week, he could (emphasis on the could) be playing alongside Mo Salah and Virgil van Dijk. Strange old business, football! #SAFC

✅ DONE DEAL: Melker Ellborg joins Sunderland from Malmö FF on a long-term deal. 💰 Undisclosed fee thought to be around £3million for the goalkeeper. ➡️ Move clears the way for Anthony Patterson to head out on loan to Millwall. #SAFC

For those asking about buying-to-sell Geertruidia: Liverpool are looking at a loan, not a purchase. That likely rules out Sunderland activating any buy clause. Any move would be Liverpool effectively taking over the loan, subject to Sunderland’s agreement + benefit. #SAFC

My understanding is that Sunderland holds the cards on Geertruida. Any outcome needs their blessing + replacement. Full explainer below ⤵️ #SAFC

🧤 Robin Roefs. What a pleasure to watch! 🔥 Outperforming PL’s biggest names 📊 Statistically, the best U23 keeper in Europe 🧠 Calm, composed, authoritative 💷 From £9m gamble to recruitment win 💪🏻 Savour him. He is THAT good. More here... #SAFC
