The latest transfer talk from Sunderland with updates on two potential winger deals.

Sunderland winger Simon Adingra is reportedly a surprise target for Serie A club Roma.

As per Italian outlet VoceGialloRossa, Roma are considering a move for Adingra as an alternative to a number of other transfer targets as they look to strengthen their opens out wide. The Serie A club are said to have identified RB Leipzig star Antonio Nusa as their main target and are also showing an interest in Paris Saint-Germain youngster Ibrahim Mbaye.

After missing out on Mason Greenwood and Crysencio Summerville, Nusa is said to be top of the list for Roma - but Adingra is said to be admired within the Giallorossi hierarchy. The former Brighton and Hove Albion star joined the Black Cats last summer but scored just one goal and provided one assist in 15 appearances in all competitions before joining Ligue 1 club Monaco on loan during the second half of the season. His future at Sunderland remains cast in doubt and the report states the Black Cats value the Ivory Coast winger at around £30m, which means they will make around £9m in profit should Roma meet their demands.

Brighton join Sunderland in race for La Liga winger

Sunderland and Leeds United have both been linked with an ambitious move for Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji - and a recent report in Spain appears to have boosted their hopes of agreeing a deal with the Catalan giants.

The 20-year-old joined the La Liga champions from FC Copenhagen last summer and scored two goals and four assists in 28 appearances in all competitions last season. However, just ten of those appearances came as part of Hansi Flick’s starting eleven and the arrival of Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon and Borussia Dortmund winger Karim Adeyemi look to have further hampered Bardghji’s attempts to increase his involvement ahead of his second season at the Camp Nou.

Spanish outlet Sport have now claimed Brighton have joined Sunderland and Leeds in the race for the winger’s signature and have suggested Barca could authorise a deal with a buyback option - although Bardghji is said to favour a loan move to allow him to ‘prove his worth’ ahead of his return to Catalonia.
