# Sunderland: Black Cats could sign Andras Nemeth this summer

**[Sunderland](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/sunderland-afc-news/) may have to wait until the summer transfer window to sign young Genk forward Andras Nemeth, according to a fresh transfer report.**

### The Lowdown: Sunderland linked with Nemeth signing

The 20-year-old is struggling to be a key man for the Belgian giants currently, only managing [one goal and assist apiece](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/416067/Show/Andr%C3%A1s-N%C3%A9meth) in 15 Jupiler Pro League appearances this season.

Nemeth has been [linked](https://www.si.com/soccer/sunderland/transfers/who-is-andras-nemeth-all-you-need-to-know-about-sunderland-striker-target) with a move to Sunderland in recent times, as Tony Mowbray looks to improve his attacking options at the Stadium of Light.

A new update suggests that the Black Cats may have to bide their time, though.

### The Latest: Summer move more likely

According to [*Het Nieuwsblad*](https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20230116_95261366) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/sunderland-will-wait-summer-sign-player-striker-exactly-situation-teammate/)\], Genk ‘do not want to talk about an immediate transfer’ when it comes to Nemeth and teammate Mika Godts, putting paid to a January move happening.

His current team feel he ‘could also be of great value’ to their reserve team in the second half of the season.

### The Verdict: Go for him at the end of the season

This is a disappointing update for Sunderland, who may have to been hoping for a January deal, so they may now have to turn their attention elsewhere.

A summer move for Nemeth should still be attempted, however, with the youngster scoring [eight goals in 11 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/andras-nemeth/profil/spieler/546415) for Hungary’s Under-21s, as well as netting in his only senior cap to date.

At 20, he could be a long-term addition, too, maturing as a player and learning from an in-form Ross Stewart at Sunderland, before potentially partnering him in attack.
