Before the January transfer window, Trai Hume became a transfer target for Burnley, Leicester City, and Leeds United; however, Carlton Palmer urged the defender to remain at Sunderland the following month.
Hume, 21, has performed admirably for Sunderland thus far this year. The six-time All-Star from Northern Ireland has started each of his team’s 19 Championship games, and the Black Cats are definitely in the running to place among the top six
After Tony Mowbray’s dismissal, that is. Recently, Team Talk reported that Hume is being pursued by Leeds, Leicester, and Burnley. Leeds’ current right-back shortage has prompted them to look for a striker.
Towards the end of the season, the contracts of Luke Ayling, Jamie Shackleton, Sam Byram, and Stuart Dallas expire. It is merely a loan of Djed Spence. That means we need a new right-back. The target now is Hume.
Palmer, a former Leeds midfielder, has talked about the circumstances on Football League World, nevertheless. He believes that for the sake of both Sunderland and his career, defender Hume ought to remain at the Stadium of Light.
Trai’s state will only improve. The fee and profit for Sunderland will rise as a result. Palmer stated, “They shouldn’t sell with the goal of making the playoffs and getting promoted as the ultimate goal.
“It’s best to maintain your ground in January. They’re in a powerful situation. The agreement expires in 2028. Trai’s fee will only rise the longer he plays for Sunderland and continues to develop in this way.
