The latest edition of the Sunderland weekly round-up takes a look at the latest news from the Stadium of Light. With the January transfer window getting closer, the rumour mill is begging to gather pace.<\/p>\n
The Black Cats have been linked in the past week with a Premier League midfielder who cost his current club \u00a316 million. The club have also been linked to a player Tony Mowbray knows well from their days together at Blackburn Rovers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We also take a look back at the two games played this past week. Despite winning away from home, Sunderland could not follow it up at home at the weekend. Both performances have fans, staff and players alike worrying.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Aston Villa’s French midfielder Morgan Sanson has been linked with a loan move to the Stadium of Light. Sanson, who cost Villa \u00a316 million when he signed from Marseille in January 2021 has made just 20 appearances.<\/p>\n Jamie Kemble of the Sunderland Echo<\/a> reported on Friday that the Black Cats were interested in bringing Sanson to the club on loan. However, now that Villa have replaced Steven Gerrard with Unai Emery, Sanson could be given a lifeline at the club. The 28-year-old made his first appearance of the season by coming on as a late substitute in Villa’s 3-1 victory at home to Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n Reports by James Copely of the Sunderland Echo<\/a> and Alan Nixon of The Sun<\/a> claim\u00a0Blackburn Rovers midfielder Bradley Dack could be set for a reunion with Tony Mowbray. Attacking midfielder Dack struggled with injuries and has failed to reclaim his first-team place on a regular basis this season.<\/p>\n It was Tony Mowbray<\/a> who signed Dack for Rovers from Gillingham in 2017. He scored 18 league goals to help Rovers and Mowbray secure promotion from League One in his first season. He continued his fine form the following season scoring a further 18 goals in all competitions. However, two serious knee injuries, one to each knee kept him out for a significant length of time. Now fit but struggling for game time, Dack may favour a reunion with Mowbray should the Black Cats make a move.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udde3 A brutally honest verdict from the Sunderland boss!#SAFC<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/CIo4taJnQD<\/a><\/p>\n — Sunderland Echo SAFC (@sunechosafc) November 2, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSunderland Weekly Round-Up: Premier League Midfielder Linked and Performance Levels Drop\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
