Six European options Sunderland could target in the summer window | OneFootball

With the 2025/26 Premier League entering its final stretch, Sunderland are already eyeing summer reinforcements after a fruitful European haul last year. They remain in the chase for an unexpected European berth and will look to make the window count regardless.

Sunderland Echo notes that, using Google’s Gemini to frame potential profiles, six Europe-based players have emerged as plausible targets.

Bradley Locko, the Stade Brestois left-back, could refresh the flank, bringing strong ball progression and reliable one-on-one defending from Ligue 1.

Morten Frendrup of Genoa profiles as a high-energy box-to-box option, disrupting play and excelling in tackles and recoveries, a potential long-term complement around Granit Xhaka.

Valencia forward Hugo Duro would add a relentless pressing edge and clever movement, complementing the current focal point up front and creating space for midfield runners.

Patrick Wimmer offers a dynamic right-sided outlet for Wolfsburg, combining work-rate with chance creation. With his club battling relegation, favourable terms could be possible.

Villarreal centre-back Logan Costa, 25, blends aerial dominance with calm distribution, bolstering depth and giving scope for a back-three if required.

AZ Alkmaar’s Sven Mijnans, 26, is a creative midfielder with vision and late box entries, providing rotation and support for Enzo Le Fée across a demanding campaign.
