Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris confirms Salis Abdul Samed imminent capture

 The man in charge of the dugout at the Stadium of Light has confirmed the imminent signing of the Ghanaian enforcer ahead of the closure of the current transfer window

Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris has said it's "possible" Ghana international Salis Abdul Samed could join them in the coming days from French Ligue 1 side RC Lens.

 The 24-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements by the Ligue 1 outfit following his demotion to the reserve side for the just started football campaign. 

With his transfer loan switch to the former English Premier League campaigners approaching, the manager of the Black Cats have confirmed his imminent capture ahead of the transfer deadline day.

 "It is possible with Samed and Aleksic, but it is not [done yet], the gaffer is quoted as saying by Sunderland Echo."We are working hard and I hope that at the end we have a more balanced team, more talented players and so on. We don't know exactly yet what the situation will be but I'm confident because I think we have a good team with a strong core - and if we can add some specific elements to this core I think that the balance will be better. We know that this league is very long with many three-game weeks, so in these situations to have maybe two or three elements more will be interesting for us."

The frozen-out RC Lens man will have his deal with his current employers expire in June 2028 and per his transfermarkt valuation suitors must table an amount of €8m if they are to land him this summer.

 Salis will now hope to quickly secure a move to admirers in order to bring his dwindling career back on track given his vibrant age as a professional footballer.

He's so far been cap-tied 19 times by Ghana at the senior national team level, the Black Stars.
