Sunderland opened their summer with Belgium international Thomas Meunier on a free, and there is optimism that a second signing is close. TransferMarkt figures show the Black Cats sit £19m in profit for the window after Eliezer Mayenda joined Rennes.

Nottingham Forest lead the profits at £123.4m, ahead of Aston Villa on £103.7m and Newcastle United on £49.3m. Fulham are £3.4m in credit, while Crystal Palace are level.

Elsewhere, Liverpool’s balance shows an £88.8m loss, Arsenal are £36m down and Brighton are £38.75m in the red. Ipswich Town are £77.5m down and Everton’s figure is a £56m loss.
