Just 2 points outside of auto promotion points in championship table at this time Sunderland He will be hoping that 2025 is the year they finally make their long-awaited return to the Premier League.
After being relegated to League One at one stage, the Black Cats are now back in contention for promotion in the Championship away from any of those nightmares that remain, with two wins from two league games achieved so far in January.
Regis Le Press He will be hoping to be backed up in the January transfer window in order to boost his side's chances of promotion to dream level, with a powerful striker on the radar.
Sunderland is looking for a striker
like I reported earlier this weekSunderland remain in the race to try to sign Stoke City striker Tom Cannon this month, with his parent club Leicester City potentially prepared to send him elsewhere away from the lowly Potters.
Sheffield United are also keen on the 22-year-old's services, so it remains to be seen whether the Black Cats will come out on top, or whether Chris Wilder's men actually have the edge in this ongoing transfer battle.
If the Wearside side are successful in signing current champions Stoke, the fans gathered inside the Stadium of Light will be praying for the Ireland international to become a striker similar to former goal machine Ross Stewart, who Sunderland arguably never replaced.
He could also give the Black Cats another valuable option at the top – beyond any bold comparisons – where he looks likely to be the backup number. Aaron Connolly will leave for Millwall This is the window, and there is no doubt that Wilson Isidore remained on his toes when the loan arrived.
What Cannon can offer for Sunderland
Cannon has been the killer of Stoke's chances this season, even as the Staffordshire side's season comes to an end, with Nine strokes It was registered in the Action Championship. To add more context, Isidor is Short one of that total in the league as the leading man in the Black Cats' offense.
With a well-known reputation for being a reliable poacher now in the Premier League, considering “crazy” The Marksman – as football journalist Pete Smith described him earlier this season – fired home 19 goals in his career In the Championship during a number of fruitful loan moves, it looks likely that he will find success at Sunderland alongside creative faces such as Joby Bellingham.
Besides these second-rate feats, Kanon also fired a ridiculous shot 51 goals In all, he played for several Everton youth teams before moving to Leicester, with the 5ft 11 aces likely to become the Black Cats' next Stewart when assessing their similar strength in front of goal.
Indeed, Stewart was a ruthless striker for Sunderland while still on the Wearside club's books, with extremely impressive performances. 40 strokes It was achieved from 80 appearances, before a move to Southampton was hampered by recurring injuries.

Surprisingly, even during a recent injury-hit campaign at the Stadium of Light, the ever-dangerous Scot managed to score ten goals in 13 league appearances as his scoring pace was devastating. 104 minutes.
Cannon can also spark intense plays at any moment, as seen in his early goal against Sunderland last time out in the FA Cup, with almost four minutes left before scoring a stunning penalty.
With Connolly's departure announced soon, Le Bris needs more options at the top, and could get the best possible replacement in the form of Cannon if the move starts.
