Sunderland have confirmed the signing of Simon Adingra from Brighton, as the newly promoted Premier League side continue to make waves in the summer transfer window.

Eddie Howe wanted Joao Pedro before Chelsea reached a £60m agreement with Brighton, with Newcastle keen on attacking reinforcements after releasing Callum Wilson. Newcastle then turned attention towards Hugo Ekitike, only for Liverpool to swoop in and shake hands with Eintracht Frankfurt on a £79m fee for the Frenchman.

If a recent transfer update from Fabrizio Romano is believed to be true, Sunderland are keen on bringing Frank Anguissa and Granit Xhaka back to the Premier League. But it won’t be straightforward

Former Aston Villa and Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill says he would "love" Leeds United to avoid the drop next season. The Whites have invested heavily in their first team squad since gaining promotion to the Premier League, spending around £75m on seven new recruits.

Adli’s possible exit would follow Jonathan Tah’s move to Bayern Munich and Jeremie Frimpong’s switch to Liverpool. With Lukas Hradecky pushing for Monaco and Granit Xhaka eyeing Sunderland, the reshaping at Leverkusen appears total.
