Sunderland have added plenty of quality to their squad upon their return to the second-tier and despite a change of management near the end of the window, have largely left the market with their squad in a better position than they entered it.
One of the most vital transfers for the Black Cats this summer was a deal that didn’t happen with Sunderland keeping hold of striker Ross Stewart despite interest from clubs in the Championship and Scotland.
As always thought, it was a frenetic end to the window with deals across the division being complete right up until the deadline at 11pm as clubs and managers finalised their squads.
