TRANSFER TALK: Sunderland eye-up Valencia left-back Aly Cissokho as Orban bid looks set to fail

SUNDERLAND are believed to have made an enquiry for Valencia left-back Aly Cissokho after long-running efforts to sign Argentine full-back Lucas Orban failed to pay off.

The French international of Senegalese descent has the pace and energy Paolo Di Canio wants in that position and at 25 fits the template of the sort of player Sunderland are now looking to recruit – good, young players who can improve further.

Cissokho would be a top-quality signing, if Sunderland can lure him to the Stadium of Light.

And Sunderland will be aware that cash-strapped Valencia are weighing up options in terms of fund-raising sales.

Sunderland’s biggest problem though might not be in persuading Valencia to sell, but Cissokho to leave.

And if the full-back is to leave the Mestalla Stadium, Liverpool are likely to aggressively pursue his signature.

Cissokho said recently: “Every player at the club is subject to speculation given the financial situation.

“I’ve had possibilities, that’s true, but I’m happy here, I’ve played in big games in both the Champions League and La Liga.”

Liverpool meanwhile have been tracking the defender for some time and would be expected to rival Sunderland if Cissokho leaves Spain.

Sunderland’s need for a new left-back is their most pressing concern after a summer of recruitment which has still to address the gap by the return to Spurs of on-loan left-back Danny Rose who spent all last season on Wearside.

The Black Cats have pursued the Tigre defender since the end of last season, along with Spanish sides Villareal and Sevilla, but are now believed to have grown weary of Orban’s failure to make progress on the potential move.

Neither is Rose likely to be a viable option, despite the England Under-21 international’s successful stint at the Stadium of Light.

Spurs are reportedly ready to give Rose a first-team opportunity at White Hart Lane this season.

And with Sunderland also losing out to Marseille in the race for French defender Benjamin Mendy, the Wearsiders are having to re-cast their net for a new left-back.

Sunderland were given no encouragement after making an enquiry for Eintracht Frankfurt’s Bastian Oczipka last week, while they have also been linked with Inter Milan’s Italian Under-21 international Cristiano Biraghi.

Biraghi’s agent, Mario Giuffredi, admits a move to Sunderland – where the 20-year-old would be reunited with ex-Inter chief scout Valentino Angeloni – is an attractive one.

“At the moment, I put the Premier League as the boy’s first-choice,” said Giuffredi.“Playing in England is the dream of all the players.

“There is also Angeloni who knows the guy right from the youth team and Di Canio is a great coach.

“It is definitely a welcome destination. We’ll see the evolution of the market.”

Looks like the hardest job is going to be persuading him to come then??

 

Rose can play in midfield or on the wing as necessary as well. Would be unbelievable to get both.

SAFC seem to be the team everyones talking about at the mo. I just hope teams don't raise their game against us where everyone is like an FA Cup tie
