Kristjaan Speakman is unable to secure a dual transfer agreement as Sunderland’s search for a striker persists.

The ongoing search for a striker at Sunderland sees Kristjaan Speakman missing a chance to complete a double transfer deal.

Here are the latest transfer updates related to Sunderland that you might have overlooked today.

The Championship season kicks off this Saturday, with Sunderland preparing to face Cardiff City in Wales.

This match will be the inaugural competitive game for new head coach Régis Le Bris, who joined the Black Cats earlier this summer.

It is anticipated that Eliezer Mayenda will lead the attack against Cardiff City, following his promising performances during the pre-season.

Sunderland remains actively seeking a seasoned goalscoring striker during the summer transfer window, guided by Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman. Below are the latest transfer updates that you might have overlooked:

Reports indicate that Sunderland and Birmingham City have both missed the opportunity to sign Goduine Koyalipou.

According to HITC, Bulgarian club CSKA Sofia has taken the lead in acquiring the 24-year-old winger, and it seems they have successfully secured his signature.

“Hello! I’m thrilled to be here at the largest club in Bulgaria. I eagerly anticipate playing for you,” Koyalipu expressed following the official confirmation of his transfer to CSKA Sofia on Tuesday, as reported by Top Sport.

In other news, Sunderland seems to have lost the opportunity to acquire Ike Ugbo, who is set to join Sheffield Wednesday.

The 25-year-old forward is anticipated to attract a total fee of approximately £2.5 million, with Sunderland’s late interest complicating matters for Sheffield Wednesday.

However, recent reports from the Sheffield Star indicate that Ugbo is likely to make his move to Hillsborough, despite Sunderland’s interest.

Sheffield Wednesday has reportedly successfully navigated interest not only from Sunderland but also from Stoke City and Birmingham City.
