Sunderland transfer latest as Régis Le Bris, men defeat RC Lens in France

Phil Smith and James Copley are back with another episode of The Roar Podcast to reflect on Sunderland’s impressive 2-0 pre-season victory over RC Lens in France.

The pair discuss the major talking points from the game, including goals from Trai Hume and Wilson Isidor, another eye-catching Chris Rigg performance, the return of key first-team players and what the display told us about Régis Le Bris’ side ahead of the new Premier League season.

There is also plenty of transfer discussion as Sunderland continue working on incomings and outgoings, with the latest on the club’s key targets, Wilson Isidor’s future and the deals set to take Leo Hjelde and Arthur Masuaku away from Wearside.

Plus, where does the squad still need strengthening before the transfer window closes, and how close are Sunderland to being ready for another demanding Premier League and Europa League campaign?
