Neil and Patterson exits could shape Sunderland’s late window strategy | OneFootball

According to Sunderland Echo, potential exits for Dan Neil and Anthony Patterson could shape Sunderland’s late business in the closing days of January.

Talks continue behind the scenes, and a clearer view is emerging of how Régis Le Bris wants his group to look for the season’s second half. A high-value winger and a new goalkeeper could yet be targeted to complete a dream finish to the window.

This remains a hypothetical scenario, a light-hearted sketch of possibilities rather than what will be. The club’s evolving recruitment model and growing profile underpin the discussion.

Jonas Omlin has been heavily linked with Sunderland if a deal can be struck to allow Patterson to leave.

Robin Roefs has established himself as Le Bris’s number one and is not leaving in January.

Simon Moore is viewed as an important member of the goalkeeping group and plays a key role behind the scenes.

Left-back Dennis Cirkin has returned to full fitness, although he is into the final six months of his contract.
