It initially appeared that Sunderland had missed out on signing Lukas Nmecha from Manchester City due to injury.

According to a report in the Sunderland Echo, Sunderland could still complete a deal for Lukas Nmecha from Manchester City this month.

Nmecha was on the verge of a move to Sunderland earlier in the transfer window, but an injury appeared to rule out a move.

Nmecha was expected to be out for months, but indications from City suggest that the youngster could return more quickly than first expected.

Sunderland are now monitoring the situation, and could make another move for the 19-year-old.

The German born forward has a very limited amount of first-team experience, and has played just once for the City’s senior squad in the EFL Cup this term.

Nmecha does have eight goals in seven games for City’s development side in League matches though, and looks to be a potential star of the future.

Sunderland are in need of a new striker, as they have limited options up-front currently.

Sunderland have lost both James Vaughan and Lewis Grabban this month, which leaves Chris Coleman having to pick youngsters Joel Asoro and Josh Maja.
