Monaco looking to re-sign Sunderland’s Simon Adingra on loan, also targeted by Ipswich and West Ham AS Monaco are reportedly looking to secure another loan deal for Sunderland AFC forward Simon Adingra (24), according to Foot Mercato . However, this is set to be a difficult task, as AS Roma, RB Leipzig, Ipswich Town, Hull City and West Ham United are all said to be trying to persuade the Ivorian to join them on a permanent transfer. The Hammers’ management, who will be playing in the Championship during the 2026–27 season, are even said to have already begun talks with the 24-year-old, whose contract with Sunderland runs until 2030. Valued at €22m by the specialist website Transfermarkt , Adingra is coming off the back of a relatively mixed season, featuring an interesting loan spell at Monaco. Making 17 appearances under Sébastien Pocognoli in the second half of the season, the former Brighton & Hove Albion player proved decisive on five occasions, scoring three goals and providing two assists. So much so that he managed to secure a place in the Ivory Coast squad selected by Emerse Faé for the World Cup, where he featured in his side’s 2-1 defeat to Germany. GFFN | Léo Aschi
