Sunderland's January 2025 transfer window has seen strategic reinforcement of their promotion push, with the notable signing of Wilson Isidor from Zenit St Petersburg on a permanent deal following his successful loan spell. The Black Cats have also secured the services of Enzo Le Fée on loan from Roma, strengthening their midfield options as they sit fourth in the Championship table.
Transfer activity has included several outgoing moves, with Adil Aouchiche joining Portsmouth on loan and Nazariy Rusyn moving to Hajduk Split until the end of the season. The club has also seen the departure of Zak Johnson to Notts County on loan, while Aaron Connolly's contract was mutually terminated before he joined Millwall. These moves reflect Régis Le Bris's careful management of the squad depth.
Beyond the first team movements, Sunderland continues its tradition of developing young talent through strategic loan placements. The club has managed several loan recalls and extensions throughout January, including adjustments to Ben Crompton's spell at Tamworth and Oliver Bainbridge's return from Kilmarnock, demonstrating their active management of youth development pathways.
The January window builds on Sunderland's summer recruitment which saw them bring in experienced players like Alan Browne and Simon Moore on free transfers, alongside promising talents such as Milan Aleksić and Ahmed Abdullahi. Under the ownership of Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, the club maintains its focus on sustainable growth while pushing for Premier League promotion.
