SHOCKING NEWS:Wilson Isidor has decided not to play again for Sunderland and says goodbye to club…
Sunderland have had a strong start to the season and the recruitment team at the Stadium of Light will already be finalising plans ahead of the January window.
Pleasingly for the Black Cats, they aren’t in a position where they need to panic, and it will be a case of adding quality if the right opportunities arise.
However, it’s not going to all be about incomings, and whilst Sunderland won’t want to lose any key players, there are some on the fringes who may want to depart.
And, it would be no surprise if Nazariy Rusyn fell into that category.
Nazariy Rusyn’s time at Sunderland so far
Sunderland moved to bring in the Ukrainian striker in the summer window in 2023, and, on paper, he appeared to be a decent addition that fitted into their transfer strategy.
Rusyn had been scoring goals in his home country with Zorya, having previously featured for Dynamo Kyiv and Legia Warsaw.
Just a month after his switch to Wearside, Rusyn was called up to the Ukraine senior squad, so it looked as though the Black Cats had secured someone who was very highly-rated.
Yet, it’s fair to say that Rusyn’s time in the Championship hasn’t gone to plan.
Nazariy Rusyn is not in Regis Le Bris’ plans
The 26-year-old managed just two goals in 21 appearances last season, although it did feel unfair to write Rusyn off completely.
After all, it was a disastrous campaign for the club, and they had three different managers, so it was hardly the best environment for the player to go into.
But, whilst other players have improved since Regis Le Bris appointment this summer, Rusyn has failed to establish himself as a regular.
