The January transfer window is fast approaching – with Sunderland and their rivals eyeing deals.
Nevertheless, given Tony Mowbray’s team’s present sixth-place standing in the Championship, it is unclear how active the Black Cats will be in the market after their strong start to the campaign.
However, January’s transfer window is sometimes infamously difficult to get through, with teams unwilling to part with their finest players unless exorbitant terms are agreed upon.
In light of this, we examine some of the most impressive January transfer acquisitions Sunderland has made in previous years:
Jermain Defoe
In 2019, Jermain Defoe joined Sunderland in exchange for Jozy Altidore. The former England striker scored 37 goals in 93 games for the team during his first stint.
. Jonny Evans
. Carlos Edwards
Carlos Edwards was another Roy Keane-inspired January transfer signing and worth it just for that goal against Burnley alone.
. Jan Kirchoff
Under Sam Allardyce, the German joined Sunderland during the January transfer window and was a key factor in the Black Cats’ decision to stay in the Premier League for an additional season.
