Sunderland [seems|looks|appears] close to finalizing a deal for France international Noé Lebreton before the summer window shuts. Rumours suggest a multi-million-pound transfer fee is now on the table. The club has even received its initial bid already. At just 22, the defender remains Sunderland’s top choice after Barking and East Ham lost Robin Roefs to another side. There are also whispers that defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy is still in the mix for the Championship club as the window progresses. As of now, Lebreton’s parent club has not yet finalised any agreement.
