Town Among Clubs Linked With Sunderland Winger
Monday, 6th Jul 2026 18:19

Town are among a number of clubs reported to be interested in Sunderland winger Simon Adingra.

The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international joined the Black Cats last summer from Brighton, but was sent on loan to Monaco in January.

According to Footmercato, Monaco want him to return on loan for 2026/27 while the Blues, Hull City, AS Roma and RB Leipzig all want to sign him on a permanent basis, while it’s claimed talks have already taken place between the player and West Ham, who will be in the Championship next season.

Abidjan-born Adingra, who primarily plays on the left, moved to Europe via the Right to Dream Academy, signing for Danish side FC Nordsjaelland, from where Town recruited Sindre Walle Egeli, in 2020.

In June 2022 he moved to Brighton for €8 million (£6.8 million) and immediately joined the Seagulls’ sister club in Belgium, Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, on loan.

Having made 37 Premier League starts and 23 sub appearances, scoring eight times, for Brighton, Adingra was sold to Sunderland last summer for £21 million.

Prior to his loan switch, he had made nine Premier League starts and five sub appearances for the Wearsiders, scoring once.

armchaircritic59 added 18:45 - Jul 6 Or in other words, the guy could end up almost anywhere. He was good at Brighton for a fair while, but his form dropped off. Hence I guess why he ended up at Sunderland and then elsewhere. Now if we could just prise Schjelderup out of Benfica!

rjm added 18:48 - Jul 6 Always liked the look of him and thought he was one of Sunderland’s best signings a year ago, didn’t quite work out for him there but I would absolutely love to have him here. Can play on the right and even on the left he is most likely a step up on both JC and Philogene. Please Ashton get this done. Love this link.

Like in most areas of the pitch we do need to get a winger in with proven Premier league quality and this guy dispite a drop in form has done it. It would probably mean off loading either Jack Clarke or Jaden Philogene. I would move on Philogene he struggles with the physicality of the Premier league and wouldn't stay fit because of this. Jack Clarke always shows his best form coming off the bench when defender's are tiring and i think he could do a reasonable job in the Premier league. Lots of discussion about who we should sign on here but not who might depart think there could be one or two surprises.

Marinersnose added 19:47 - Jul 6 Our left side is our best side with Philogene and Clarke. Maybe GON is looking to offload ? Right side needs significant improvement imo

d77sgw added 08:48 - Jul 7 Perfectly good player, but does feel strange if we’re looking to sign another ‘primarily’ left winger when that is arguably our strongest area of the team right now. You’d like to think there is a plan - but the club’s recruitment in the last couple of years often bizarrely misses areas of greatest need…
