Régis Le Bris sets out Sunderland view on Jocelin Ta Bi loan before deadline | OneFootball

According to Sunderland Echo, Sunderland could allow Jocelin Ta Bi to leave on loan before the window closes, with Ligue 1 and UK interest following his Toulon tournament displays for Ivory Coast. The deadline is 11pm on Tuesday.

Régis Le Bris said a loan remains possible, although the club are also open to keeping the winger with the first team so he can train with senior players and make occasional bench appearances.

He indicated that further signings in wide areas would limit Ta Bi’s minutes, at which point Sunderland could revisit their stance. Any exit would be to a club offering a strong chance of regular game time.

The head coach praised Ta Bi’s profile, likening him to Jules Ahoka, and said he has the attributes for the role but needs time to improve. He added that development can come through intense daily training or via a loan, and that a decision would be made at the end of the season.

Le Bris also hinted Alan Browne is likely to move before Tuesday, with interest from Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End. He described Browne as a model professional and said the club must find the right journey for every player.
