Sunderland boss Chris Coleman is set to have a lack of funds to spend in the January transfer window.
Sunderland may have a lack of funds to spend when the transfer window opens up next month, but Coleman is still keen to force through the signing of a forward.
The Black Cats may have improved under Coleman’s leadership so far, and taken seven points from their last five matches, but the Welsh boss realises that improvements need to be made.
Coleman’s priority is to bring a new forward to Sunderland, to increase the attacking quality available to him.
Lewis Grabban has scored frequently for Sunderland this term, but the Bournemouth loanee has not been backed up by his teammate.
James Vaughan has failed to find the back of the net with any regularity, and Sunderland’s other forward options are all youngsters.
While Joel Asoro and Josh Maja show promise, Coleman would like a more experienced option to rely upon in January.
Sunderland are currently in 21st place in the Championship table, with their next match coming against Birmingham City at the weekend.
