Sunderland is monitoring Nathaniel Adjei, but no formal offer has been submitted.

Sunderland, Strasbourg, Hull City, and FC Copenhagen are four teams competing for Lorient's 23-year-old defender, Nathaniel Adjei. The interest from these clubs follows a reported cooling of initial attention from Spanish teams. While Hull City has begun initial discussions, Sunderland is considering its options ahead of a potential official approach. Lorient is very reluctant to sell the Ghanaian international, but the player himself is open to a departure if an attractive opportunity arises, as his representatives continue to study the different possibilities.
