The final days of the January transfer window can be chaotic at times. Premier League, Sunderland Uncharacteristically quiet.
The only thing worth noting is the one coming in through the door Regis LebrisThe team’s new signing is young player Jocelyn Tabby, who joined from Maccabi Netanya, but the 20-year-old winger is definitely a signing with more focus on the future.
Will LeBris and company suddenly come back to life?
After all, they squandered the cash fearlessly in the summer, spending a whopping £162m as some late moves could still happen…
Sunderland have chance to sign £21m star
Astonishingly, the daring Black Cats even outdid Manchester City’s frenzied transfer habits in the summer, spending £162m on new players as newcomers to the Premier League.
They’re nowhere near that figure this time around, having spent just £3.5m on Tubby’s services, but they have the chance to sign the former Aston Villa striker Moussa DiabyConsidering he was previously valued at £50m, he will surely break the bank.
As well as Diaby, top-flight prospects are also in line to sign former Manchester United starlet Angel Gomez, according to a new report. Team talk.
Although the report does point to the fact that Wolves are in the driver’s seat when it comes to snapping up teams worth £21m A loan deal is said to be imminent, with Sunderland and other Premier League sides also having made contact over his availability.
Gomez is open to a return to England after struggling so far at Marseille, and given the huge impact Le Bris has had on the team, he could be the perfect coach to get the best out of the number eight again. Enzo Le Faybusiness has been revitalized.
How Gomez could become Le Bres’ next Le Fay
Much like Gomez, who burst into the spotlight from a young age after the Red Devils’ breakout, Le Fay was tipped for big things as a youngster with hometown club Lorient. In 142 senior games at the Mustova Stadium, he scored 8 goals and provided 15 assists, becoming a skilled and smooth midfield star.
It wasn’t all plain sailing for him, however, with Le Fey subsequently failing to score in two games at Rennes and Roma before his former Lorient boss LeBlis offered him a career lifeline at the Stadium of Light. It’s safe to say he looks like a man reborn under his methods.
The 25-year-old has since become known as “joy” Sunderland journalist James Copley considers Lefey a talent to watch out for, and for good reason too, with Lefey already scoring a dizzying four goals and four assists in all competitions this season, with four goals in just 18 games in the second tier.
Gomez, who hoped he would develop into a Premier League-level player under Le Bris, was abandoned by the Old Trafford powerhouse before he could fully shine, and his performances in Ligue 1 – particularly at Lille – have shown he has the talent to create magic moments from nothing, much like Le Fay.
In 134 games for Lille, Gomez often stood out as “Sensational” As one analyst described him, he is a star player who can unlock defenses with ease, as evidenced by his 19 assists for Les Dogues. Professional Jonathan Panzo also calls him “magician” His clever football IQ created plenty of opportunities, with him creating a total of 26 big chances.
With Roberto De Zerbi scoring a respectable four goals in his limited appearances at Marseille, there is a feeling that Le Bris could indeed be the manager to bring Gomez back to his Lille peak on Wearside, with the English maestro also capable of lining up across the midfield, much like Le Fay.

Surprisingly, the London-born star actually outperformed his French counterpart when assessing their side-by-side statistics in each area of midfield, with Le Bris certainly licking his lips at the prospect of having another versatile and prolific star in his ranks.
Gomez will also be keen to prove he is a talent worthy of the Premier League, as Sunderland could make a great late acquisition if they can complete the final move in time.
