The Black Cats have made a flying start to the 2024-25 season and currently sit at the top of the Championship on goal difference.
However, recent reports have suggested that the Frenchman already has an eye on the January transfer window and will demand reinforcements. That’s according to Football Insider, who have stated: “Le Bris has let it be known to Sunderland he wants to be backed heavily in the January transfer window if his side are still in promotion contention.”
With that in mind, we take a look at some of the players who could leave Sunderland this winter if the Black Cats bring in reinforcements. We’ll also detail the stars who won’t leave during January and why:
9. Harrison Jones - could leave
The Sunderland under-21 captain has performed well this season and played for his boyhood club in the Carabao Cup against Preston North End earlier this season. A loan move, however, may do him the world of good. | Chris Fryatt
10. Daniel Cameron - could leave
19-year-old Dan Cameron is another player who has risen through the ranks at the Academy of Light. The goalkeeper has been with Sunderland since the under-10 age group and has trained with Sunderland’s first team in recent times. The Black Cats, though, may look into a loan for the stopper.
