Sunderland Defender Trai Hume a Wanted Man
A Host of Clubs Interested

Regis Le Bris Will Not Want to Lose “Warrior” Trai Hume
Sunderland head coach Regis Le Bris will be desperate to keep Trai Hume, a player he called a “warrior” in April this year following the defenders’ free kick that was enough to earn victory at West Bromwich Albion. It was Hume’s second goal in as many games and Le Bris was full of praise for his fullback who was playing at left back due to injuries. He said: “When you have a left-back score it’s very positive for the team. For the last two games, Trai has been really important.
“He’s really well balanced and if he can add this ability to his game, it changes his profile towards the next level. Trai is a warrior – even if he has an injury he wants to play.”
Sunderland have had problems at fullback for much of the season due to injuries and a lack of depth, and according to reports, the Black Cats have made the fullback position a priority with Regis Le Bris wanting more strength in depth as he prepares for life in the Premier League
