Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles is speculated to make a surprising transfer to Sunderland this summer, following his decreased role at Newcastle. At 31, Lascelles seeks a new challenge after spending most of his career at Newcastle. Sunderland, recently promoted back to the Premier League, needs experienced players, and pundit Perry Groves suggests Lascelles could fit this requirement. Such transfers between these rival clubs are rare, with Lascelles potentially facing controversy among Newcastle fans but also recognition for his loyalty to the club.
Players don't move between Newcastle and Sunderland often. Lascelles would be joining a pretty exclusive club if he moved between these two north east clubs.
If you look at Luton, when they gave themselves a great chance of staying up, they had Ross Barkley in midfield. That experience makes a difference.
