After eight years long, Sunderland has finally returned to the Premier League, and not to become one of the clubs that Yo-Yo between the high English flight and the championship, owner Kyril Louis-dreyfus, seems to be putting his money where his mouth is.

At the age of 27, the Swiss-French businessman is younger than some players, although it is clear that his ownership is not a fraud.

Black cats spending great this summer

In less than five years since he took over the club, Sunderland have been promoted twice, included in a final of the epic championship Play off Sheffield United Back to May.

Lost Job Bellingham BY Borussia Dortmund During the summer it will have been a big blow to the club, however, manager Regis Le Bris has already been able to go out and buy Diarrhea BY STRASBOURG (£ 30m), Simon Adingra BY Brighton (£ 20.5m), The Enzo fee By Rome (20 million), Chesmine Talbi from Club (19 million), Noah Sadiki by Union Saint-Gilloise (17.5 million) and Reinildo sent BY Atletico Madrid in a free transfer.

It is now reported that the club is making an extremely ambitious attempt to bring experience Bayer Leverkusen Ace, Granit XhakaBack to the Premier League.

32-year-old Switzerland has 137 hats for his country and extensive experience of EPL thanks to his time in ArsenalNot to mention by playing the most complete to help the convenient in their first and only Bundesliga title in 2023.

He has still remained three years in his contract with the German side, but apparently makes sense that he may be allowed to leave if the right offer enters.

Jaka’s credibility is not in discussion despite his age

A romantic reunion for Sunderland with the former Llotar Jordan Henderson is off the table now that he is signed for BrentfordAlthough Jaka’s combat style and leadership qualities certainly remember Hendo.

It may be very surprised to point out that he has gained more mistakes (93) than he is admitted (69) in Germany, though 10 yellow cards could make improvement if he wishes to become an asset of a new employer.

Black cats will need those experienced heads, too, in order to complete a new energetic team, whose sole purpose in their first season should be consolidation. To this end, an action for Jaka makes perfect sense.

During his time in leverkusen, only Edmond Tapsoba (102), Jonathan Tah (109), Piero Empocapie (97), Jeremie frimong (110) and Robert Andiich (92) He played more games than 78 of Jaka, of which 75 were as beginners.

Therefore, unless he was unlucky enough to keep an injury, Jaka’s credibility is not in question.

Unbelievable passage statistics

With a passing accuracy of 88.7% at its lowest level and going up to 94.6%, the protective midfielder rarely spends a pass, and after making 6,957 during his two seasons in Germany, he can rightly be proud of such a high accuracy level.

He is not shirker when it comes to working hard for the team. 378.2 km of his covered during the 2024/25 campaign was the fifth most of each player in the Bundesliga. 2,426 intense jogs are also indicative of a player who runs with example in the field.

Of course, he has never been asked or never asked where Jaka is about, so it is not the real surprise that he has won 285 from one-in-one and 76 duels in which he participated, as well as making 460 ball recovers.

Of the 94 obstacles he has tried in the past two seasons, he has recorded a more satisfying height of 72.4%, and in fact, as that additional line of protection before four back, he has been virtually ruthless.

As a complementary offensive presence, indeed, the goals have never been truly his own strong given his position within the team, but misery made an opponent that actually gives him a view of the purpose.

That’s because all of his six for profit came from outside the box – like 15 out of 25 he scored for Arsenal – thanks to an amazing left foot.

Inciting and determination are exactly what the Sunderland needs

His encouragement, determination, the will to win, and the standards he sets for himself and those around him are absolutely what Sunderland needs if they will do more than find themselves in a battle of departure throughout the season.

In a € 10m report, it would be a theft of a signature; However, Saudi Arabia’s assets can still tempt him to see his days in the Middle East.

It is understood that the Saudi Pro League Neom team has set an offer for the player, as well as offering a large financial package to Jaka himself.

If his thoughts about his next move are based solely on salary, then there is no doubt that he will be transferred to Saudi Arabia. However, to go back to the Premier League like the lightning of a team with a clear project and the ambition to give it can be more of a temptation at this stage of his career.
