Sunderland Set To Rival Newcastle United For This Serie A Winger: Is He Worth The Fight? | OneFootball

In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Sunderland are set to rival Newcastle United for Roma winger Matias Soule. It has been mentioned that the Black Cats are eyeing a move to acquire the services of the Argentine talent in this transfer period.

Soule’s Impressive Form In Serie A

Soule enjoyed a decent run of form at the Italian club in the previous campaign after he put in a series of impressive displays for them on the right flank. The 23-year-old scored seven times and earned eight assists in 42 matches for Roma last season in all competitions.

The Argentine talent is currently among the most talented wide players in Serie A. Thus, it is no surprise that the Black Cats are eager to get a deal over the line for him this summer.

His current contract at the Italian club will expire in the summer of 2029, which could make it tough for Sunderland to sign him on a cut-price deal in this transfer period.

Sunderland Are Set To Rival Newcastle United For Soule: Is He Worth The Fight?

Soule is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with the ball out on the flanks. He has the vision to engineer some decent chances for others around him on the offensive end of the field.

The Argentine talent can even shoot the ball with venom from long range. Soule did well to add a handful of goals and assists to his game last season. However, only time will tell whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League if the Black Cats manage to snap him up in this transfer period.

Soule would undoubtedly enhance the quality of Sunderland boss Regis Le Bris’ frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Stadium of Light in the coming years.

At 23, Soule has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent option for the Wearside club to consider this summer. He would be well worth the fight, so Le Bris should consider stepping up his efforts to land him on deadline day or in January.
