While the Ligue 1 challengers are hopeful of securing another short-term deal with the player, a number of other clubs hold an interest in the 24-year-old winger, who was deemed surplus to requirements by Regis Le Bris in January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Roma, Ipswich, hull and West Ham are thought to be admirers, alongside RB Leipzig &#8211; who have taken initial steps with regards to a potential move. Adingra only joined the Black Cats from Brighton last summer, but could already be on the move once more.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"image-group\">\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-embed__0T8WX false\" data-testid=\"imageembed-37364803\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-articleid=\"37364803\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"image\">\n<div class=\"ImageEmbed_image-container__2AIQm\">\n<figure class=\"Figure_figure__Uce4f\" style=\"--figure-aspect-ratio:1.42\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 458px) 458px, (max-width: 615px) 615px, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37364803.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Heart-of-Midlothian-v-Sunderland-Pre-Season-Friendly-Tynecastle-Park.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37364803.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s458b\/0_Heart-of-Midlothian-v-Sunderland-Pre-Season-Friendly-Tynecastle-Park.jpg 458w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37364803.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s615b\/0_Heart-of-Midlothian-v-Sunderland-Pre-Season-Friendly-Tynecastle-Park.jpg 615w, https:\/\/i2-prod.mirror.co.uk\/article37364803.ece\/ALTERNATES\/s1200e\/0_Heart-of-Midlothian-v-Sunderland-Pre-Season-Friendly-Tynecastle-Park.jpg 1200w\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ImageCaption_caption__j7HRu\" data-testid=\"image-caption\">\n<p aria-label=\"\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-title__ccyQU\" data-testid=\"caption-title\"><cite aria-label=\"Image: PA\" class=\"ImageCaption_caption-credit__wlx1W\" data-testid=\"caption-credit\">(Image: PA)<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite enjoying a successful loan spell with Monaco, Simon Adingra has returned to Sunderland AFC&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15155,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/15155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
