The 6 players Sunderland should build their Premier League team around
The celebrations from Sunderland’s Championship play-off final win against Sheffield United are all but over and the full focus is now on preparing for a big return to the Premier League.
The Black Cats exceeded all expectations under head coach Regis Le Bris when they secured a fourth place finish in the Championship table before coming through play-off clashes with Coventry City and the Blades to end their eight-year absence from the Premier League.
The hard work is only just getting started now as Le Bris, Kristjaan Speakman and Kyril Louis-Dreyfus look to ensure the club are ready to take on the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool when the new campaign gets underway in August – and that will mean enjoying a successful summer transfer window.
The riches on offer from promotion into the Premier League will boost the Black Cats bid to add to their squad over next few months – but there are some players within their current squad that can provide a solid foundation for the side that will take on the elite of the English game.
