Isidor wants Sunderland exit; Arcus extends at Angers; Duverne heads to Gent
Wilson Isidor is the day's lead story. The Sunderland forward, who scored Haiti's lone goal in the 4-2 World Cup loss to Morocco on June 24, wants to leave the Black Cats this summer, and the club is not expected to block his departure, according to the Sun. Isidor was central to Sunderland's Premier League promotion last season — 12 goals and two assists in 43 appearances — but has not started a league game since December and is seeking regular football at the top level.
Elsewhere, Carlens Arcus has secured his future at Angers SCO, signing a one-year contract extension through June 2027, as confirmed by the club. The Haitian right-back, who arrived from Vitesse Arnhem in summer 2024, was due to be a free agent; he stays as Angers consolidate their Ligue 2 squad.
On the transfer front, Transfermarkt's KAA Gent page lists Jean-Kévin Duverne as an incoming signing from FC Nantes for the 2026-27 season — a move that would bring the centre-back to Belgian top-flight football with La Gantoise.
Duke Lacroix's Colorado Springs Switchbacks face Orange County SC today in the USL Prinx Tires Cup (kick-off 2:00 UTC), per Sofascore. Violette AC's Woodensky Pierre next plays August 5 in the CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, according to the same source.
