Sunderland’s rivals West Brom and Stoke City eye target as Watford want free agent

Sunderland begin the 2024/25 season with an away trip to Cardiff City next weekend. They have turned to Regis Le Bris as their new manager this summer.

The former FC Lorient boss has the chance to bring in some more players before the end of the transfer window. Here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours from around the Championship…

West Brom and Stoke City are interested in a move for Charleroi defender Stelios Andreou along with Sunderland’s opening day opponents Cardiff City, according to a report by Football Insider. The 22-year-old, who is a Cyprus international with 17 caps under his belt so far in his career, appears to be a wanted man.

He rose up through the academy ranks at Olympiakos Nicosia before breaking into their first-team as a teenager. The centre-back then switched to Belgium in 2021 and is now being linked with a move to the Football League.

Watford eye centre-back

Watford have looked into a potential deal for Liam Cooper following the end of his contract at Leeds United, as per LeedsLive. The Hornets could try and lure the Hull-born man down to Vicarage Road.

Cooper, 32, is now a free agent after his contract at Elland Road expired late last month. He will be weighing up his options.
