Kyril Louis-Dreyfus hopes the days of mass turnovers of players at Sunderland are over as the January transfer window approaches. Swiss billionaire heir Louis-Dreyfus became chairman at Sunderland two years ago in February, and during his spell in charge nine senior players arrived in the summer of 2021 with another six joining in January, followed by ten more new additions last summer.
In his first transfer window, wholesale change was necessary as the club needed to replace a large number of players who moved on, while this summer's influx was prompted by the club's promotion to the Championship.
"Since I came in, we have had a very peculiar situation - before my first season we had only 12 players left at the club so it was about bringing in big numbers of new players which we had to do," said Louis-Dreyfus, in his first interview with local media since his arrival.
