“If he choose Sunderland over West Brom, I’ll resign as a football coach…He’s the player we can’t afford to see him playing for them, they may become undefeatable with him”: Carlos Corberán angered by World-class player’s decision to join Sunderland as West Brom increases bid to convince him from Sunderland transfer

That’s according to journalist Michael Graham, who provided an update via his X account on Tuesday evening, as the Black Cats prepare for their first season under the management of Régis Le Bris.

Much has been made of Sunderland’s desire to adopt a youthful approach to their side, with plenty of them flourishing at the Stadium of Light despite what was a frustrating season for all concerned with the club.

At present, the futures of star performers such as Jack Clarke and Jobe Bellingham remain up in the air, but the addition of the ex-Sheffield United man would follow on from another recent update that came through the aforementioned Graham on June 22nd.

As previously mentioned, this latest update from the reporter states that the North East side hold a “serious interest” in Norwood, who remains a free agent at present following the Blades’ relegation from the Premier League.
