REGIS Le Bris says transfer speculation linking Manchester United and Chelsea with Noah Sadiki shows Sunderland "are doing well" with young players.
But Le Bris isn't concerned by the reports, and said: "It doesn't mean Noah will leave".
Sadiki has been a revelation on Wearside since his summer move from Union Saint-Gilloise and the deal - £15m potentially rising to £17.5m - is already looking like a bargain for the [Black Cats](http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/sunderland?ref=au).
Sadiki is only 20 but has started every single Premier League game for the Black Cats and very quickly established himself as a hugely important figure in Le Bris' side.

But his form is also said to have turned heads in the Premier League, with fresh reports today claiming both Manchester United and Chelsea are keen.
According to Sky Sport Switzerland, Chelsea immediately made contact with Sunderland after being hugely impressed by the midfielder when the Black Cats won at Stamford Bridge in October. And the same report claims Sadiki has long been in Manchester United's sights.
But Sunderland are in an extremely strong position, with Sadiki only a few months into the five-year deal he signed when he joined the Black Cats in the summer.
And when the talk of interest was put to Le Bris on Friday in his press conference, Le Bris said: "It's positive for us. It doesn't mean Noah will leave.
"He's a good player, a strong player for Sunderland. It means we're doing well with young players and more experienced players as well. That's the market."
