Sunderland receive transfer boost in Birmingham City and Cardiff City transfer race
Sunderland transfer target Musa Drammeh is set to be available as a free agent this summer.
According to
Solofichajes123, the forward’s contract with Sevilla has not been renewed.
This means that the striker will be available to discuss terms with prospective new clubs over a move during this transfer window.
Drammeh has been a part of the Sevilla reserve side, having been unable to break into the Spanish side’s first team plans.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move abroad, and could make the switch to English football for next season.
Sunderland were one of three EFL sides
linked with a move for Drammeh earlier this year.
The Black Cats face
competition from Championship rivals
Cardiff City, as well as League One side
Birmingham City.
The Wearside outfit had offers for the player
rejected in January, and are now expected to return with concrete interest in him again this summer.
This
development surrounding his contract will come as good news for Sunderland, who can now sign him as a free agent.
Drammeh has impressed in the fourth tier of Spanish football, which led to Sevilla
attempting to sign terms with him to keep him at the club.
However, he has turned that down in favour of looking elsewhere in a bid to find regular first team game time.
It remains to be seen whether he would be willing to move away from his native Spain in order to find that game time.
But he is likely to have three English clubs vying for his signature given the previously reported interest.
Birmingham’s relegation to League One could scupper their attempts to sign the forward, who is capable of playing through the middle or out wide on the right flank.
The Blues came 22nd in the table, and suffered the drop to the third tier where they haven’t competed since 1995.
