The English second-tier outfit are reportedly closing in on the Ghanaian enforcer in this current transfer window
English Championship side Sunderland have joined the race to sign Ghanaian midfielder Salis Abdul Samed, a report from the French media has claimed.
Per French tabloid L'Equipe, the former English Premier League campaigners are set to capture the lanky enforcer on a loan deal as talks between his mother club and the English suitors are said to be "progressing well" ahead of the closure of the transfer window.
Ligue 1 trio of Brest, FC Nantes and AS Saint-Étienne are also in the frame to secure the 24-year-old this summer.
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.
