Liverpool set sights on swoop for in-form Sunderland
Sunderland starlet Trey Ogunsuyi is attracting interest from Liverpool amid his impressive academy form, as per the Sunderland Echo.
Sunderland seem to have solved their striker with the signings of Wilson Isidor and Aaron Connolly, along with Eliezer Mayenda’s emergence this season.
The trio have eight goals between them, with Connolly scoring his first against Millwall at the weekend.
However, another striker on the fringes of the first-team is Trey Ogunsuyi. The Belgian youth international was in the squad at The Den and has scored nine goals and provided two assists in seven games for the club’s U18s and U21s this term.
Now, it is claimed the Sunderland prodigy is attracting interest from elsewhere. According to the Sunderland Echo, Liverpool are keen on Ogunsuyi and could move in January.
He had plenty of interest from the Premier League in the summer but opted to stay on Wearside. He signed his first professional deal with the club, turning down the chance to leave Sunderland while still a scholar.
The Black Cats now hold the cards with Ogunsuyi, however he is only tied down until the summer of 2026.
