Sunderland in talks to sign Sassuolo’s Arnaud Lauriente | OneFootball

Sunderland and Sassuolo, both newly promoted in Premier League and Serie A respectively are in talks for a deal for Arnaud Lauriente. The French winger has been very impressive for them in both Serie A and Serie B and played a huge part in them coming back up to the top division. Lauriente’s greatest strengths are his dribbling and his ball-striking. Last year in Serie B, he had 23 goal contributions, finishing as the top scorer in the division. The season before in Serie A, he had 9 goal contributions but his dribbling numbers were really high. His numbers could explode over the next few years.For Sunderland, this would be a top signing. This is the type of signing that will help keep them in the league, a difficult task for any newly promoted side presently. As per the report from Matteo Moretto, talks have just begun but it won’t be surprising if an agreement is reached quickly. Kaulik Mitra | GIFN
