Sunderland have been urged to join the transfer race for highly-rated winger Emil Hansson, a player Birmingham City are reportedly pushing hard to sign this summer. The 26-year-old winger, currently playing for Heracles Almelo in the Eredivisie, has impressed with his explosive pace, dribbling, and creativity — qualities that have caught the attention of several Championship clubs. Hansson was described by one analyst as “unplayable on his day,” with his ability to beat defenders and create chances making him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their attacking options.
Birmingham City are believed to be in advanced talks, hoping to secure his signature as part of their rebuild following relegation. However, Sunderland, who are aiming to strengthen their squad after narrowly missing out on the play-offs, are being tipped as an ideal destination for the Norwegian international. His playing style aligns well with Sunderland’s fast-paced, attacking philosophy, and his versatility could add valuable depth to their front line.
Given his contract situation and relatively affordable price tag, Hansson represents a smart investment. If Sunderland move quickly, they could not only rival Birmingham’s pursuit but potentially gain an edge by offering a more competitive platform in the Championship next season.
