Sunderland fans must be overwhelmed by the amount of quickfire business their club is involved in ahead of the Premier League getting underway next month.
Indeed, around £67m has been forked out already to land Enzo Le Fee, Habib Diarra, and Noah Sadiki, with this excessive spending necessary if the Black Cats want to mount a serious challenge at staving off the dreaded top-flight drop zone.

The ecstasy of promotion to the elite league has quickly been followed by excitement over what the next major signing Sunderland could make, with a few more expensive buys reportedly on their radar.
Sunderland's next summer signings
The whirlwind transfer activity coming out of the Stadium of Light shows no signs of slowing down.
Reports filtering out of Wearside indicate that their next intriguing purchase will come courtesy of Club Brugge winger Chemsdine Talbi, with the 20-year-old once being tipped to join the likes of RB Leipzig in Germany, but could now be Le Bris' next promising capture at around the £19.5m mark.
Yet, although the youngster coming in from Belgium possesses bags of potential, an even more exciting pick-up looks to be in the works involving the Black Cats landing Real Madrid sensation Gonzalo Garcia this summer.

As per reports from Spain, Sunderland have placed a bid worth £26m for the LaLiga attacker, with a £40m buy-back clause inserted into the deal to allow the Los Blancos to bring Garcia back to his boyhood employers if he explodes into life even more in England.
Off the back of his clinical, poacher-like abilities being on full display at the Club World Cup, Garcia could go down as an even more exciting signing than Talbi as Le Bris attempts to get the very best out of another up-and-coming talent, having already worked his magic on the likes of Jobe Bellingham.
Why Garcia is a more exciting signing than Talbi
The 20-year-old winger will be an enthralling signing in his own right, with Talbi's strengths centring on the fact he can line up down both the right and left wing for Le Bris' men this coming campaign. He'a also a goalscorer, boasting seven strikers in all competitions last season, two of which came about on Europe's grandest stage in the Champions League.
Yet, Garcia out at the Club World Cup - from only five overall clashes - is just three strikes off matching Talbi's entire season total for Brugge, with those instinctive finishes coming against the likes of Italian superpower Juventus and Bellingham's new Black and Yellow employers.

Amazingly, despite faces such as World Cup-winning Kylian Mbappe also leading the line for Xabi Alonso's men, Garcia continues to steal the limelight, with his potency not just reserved for the pitches of the Club World Cup, as seen in his blistering 36 strikes playing in the Blancos youth picture.
On the contrary, his potential new £19.5m teammate can only boast a weaker 15 strikes across his playing days to date, with Talbi perhaps not ready to be an immediate starter down the right or left wing either, when you consider Le Bris has figures such as Patrick Roberts and Enzo Le Fee he can call into action on these flanks.

Whereas, in the case of the breakout Madrid number 30, he looks ready to challenge Wilson Isidor's starting spot in England's elite league, having been hailed as "incredible" off the back of his rich vein of goalscoring form in the pre-season tournament by scout Jacek Kulig.
He also has a goal and assist next to his name in both La Liga and Copa Del Rey action - but instead of sticking it out at the Santiago Bernabeu where options might still be limited even as he terrorises the likes of Juventus - Garcia could soon fancy a switch to Le Bris' men to try and be a main starter week in week out.
After all, football analyst Ben Mattinson has even labelled the £26m man as a striker who "scores goals for fun."
The proof will soon be in the pudding if he does relocate to Sunderland and his goals keep the Black Cats up in the Premier League.
