According to a recent report by Dutch news outlet Fr12, Sunderland is in a competitive race to acquire Feyenoord Rotterdam winger Anis Hadj Moussa. The Black Cats are poised to face off against Como and Paris FC for the talented Algerian winger this summer.
Moussa’s Outstanding Performance in Dutch Football
Last season, Moussa showcased his skill with impressive performances at Feyenoord, finishing with 14 goals and 7 assists across 40 matches in various competitions. The 24-year-old has established himself as one of the most promising wingers in the Dutch Eredivisie, making him a valuable target for Sunderland during this transfer window.
Notably, Moussa’s current contract with Feyenoord runs until the summer of 2030, which could complicate potential negotiations for Sunderland if they aim to secure him for a reasonable fee.

Is Moussa the Right Fit for Sunderland Manager Regis Le Bris?
Moussa is an adept dribbler with the ability to deliver crucial passes in the attacking phase. He strikes the ball powerfully from distance and can make significant contributions in terms of both scoring and creating goals from the flanks.
Predominantly a right-sided winger, Moussa can also operate as a left winger when necessary. However, concerns remain about his ability to handle the physicality and intensity of the Premier League should Sunderland manage to sign him this transfer window.
If acquired, Moussa could significantly enhance the attacking options for head coach Regis Le Bris. He possesses the quality needed to compete for a starting position at the Stadium of Light and, at just 24, offers a promising future for the Wearside club. However, Le Bris will need to give him time to acclimate to life in England to maximize his potential.
