Sunderland have ‘sent an offer’ to French side Caen for 23-goal striker Alexandre Mendy and ‘negotiations are under way’ to take him to the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats do have competition as Saudi Arabian side Al-Riyadh SC are also keen on landing Mendy and have made an offer.

If true, at 30 years old you would imagine he will fancy the saudi cash...

30 years old. Great record in the French 2nd Div it seems.

23 goals in Ligue 2 last season and 30 year old. We really are adjusting the model!

Would be happy with it. 6 foot. Mobile. 30 years old and scores goals. If we get him over a Saudi club I’d say it’s a good deal

Won't have made much if its right he's only played in Ligue 2 for most of his career.

Good record over the last few seasons, but can't say I know if that league is of any decent quality.

At least its a striker being linked

It's not one of the crown owned Saudi clubs. Their big signings last season were Andre Gray and Didier Ndong.

Seems like it's only the past three seasons where he's had a consistent run of games as a starter and he's a goalscorer albeit at a level where i'm unsure if it's close to what the championship is.

23/24: 39 games 23 goals
22/23: 39 games 21 goals
21/22: 32 games 15 goals

He’s checked his fifa stats

I watched some clips of him when I was looking at potential strikers lol sad I know.

He’s not the quickest player but has smart movement.

 

[Rocky77]

Has he worked with Reggie before?

Some awful defending in that video.

This would be a bit of a departure from "the model", paying relatively big money for someone with no chance of a resale. I would like to see it, if nothing else just to prove that we are thinking of this season as a priority.

lots of good movement, smart play, some nice finishes with both feet and his head. Plenty of experience, I'm sold.
