Sunderland ‘to keep tabs on’ Anis Hadj Moussa as Yohanna link emerges | OneFootball

Sunderland have been credited with an interest in Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa as transfer talk gathers pace more than a week before the window opens, after sealing Europa League football last month.

The Algeria international caught the eye earlier this week with a stunning strike past Sunderland number one Robin Roefs in a pre-World Cup friendly against the Netherlands.

La Gazette du Fennec reports that Regis Le Bris’ side are among several Premier League clubs said to be tracking the 24-year-old, who produced 11 goals and six assists in 30 Eredivisie matches this season. Chelsea, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Bournemouth are also credited with interest, while Benfica are understood to be keen.

"I'm still under contract with Feyenoord. As long as that's the case, the answer is no. But in life, and therefore also in football, you never know what the future holds. Maybe I'll leave, maybe I'll stay; neither of us knows at the moment," he told Algemeen Dagblad.

"I'm open to all options. Maybe Feyenoord wants to sell me, maybe not. We'll see. If I were to leave, I'd prefer to go to England. I think I could also play in Spain with my style of play. Or in France. They're also fantastic footballing nations. But the Premier League is the best league in the world."

Separately, TEAMtalk claims Sunderland have made contact over Newcastle-linked AIK winger Zadok Yohanna, 19, with Chelsea, Manchester City, Brighton, Brentford and Crystal Palace also said to be monitoring him.
