Al Ittihad are in talks to sign Sunderland winger Chemsdine Talbi, with the Saudi Pro League transfer window still openThey had a busy final day of the window before signing winger Malick Fofana from Lyon for £30m. Crystal Palace attempted to hijack the move and the deal was in limbo before Sunderland convinced him to join. They also landed Kevin Danso from Spurs and 18-year-old Ecuadorian centre forward Juan Riquelme Angulo from Independiente del Valle.’We had this mantra at the beginning of the market – keep the core, add what we need. We kept this idea all the way,’ the Sunderland boss said.’It was tough obviously because the market is not easy to manage. We ticked our three boxes, the first one with Kevin Danso and Thomas Meunier – top level experience.’The second one with Malick and Dayann (Methalie) – young with proven experience. The third one is the huge potential prospects with Juan (Riquelme Angulo) and Jules (Ahoka). We had to manage the different positions, because it’s already a big challenge, but at the end we are happy.’Meunier, Methalie and Ahoka had all joined earlier in the summer before Sunderland bolstered their squad with three further signings on the final day of the window as Danso, Fofana and Angulo all arrived.Le Bris added: ‘(Angulo) will fill this third striker position. It’s important to match the demand of this position, you have to be an underdog and be patient but also with the potential to play because it’s important across the different competitions we’ll have.’Kevin, he has authority, physicality, leadership, he’s a great player and in this position at centre back it’s important to have this experience and this composure.’For Malick, wingers are a specific role; so good in one v one, strong personality to go again, even if it’s difficult to manage duels. He combines well, is committed defensively. He’s an exciting profile.’
