Local reports suggest the Mexican striker may be nearing the end of his spell at San Siro, drawing interest from several clubs across Europe \u2014 including a surprising contender in the Premier League with Sunderland.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>Among the teams monitoring his situation, Sunderland have surfaced as one of the most serious candidates, according to Calciomercato.com. The Premier League club has started the season in unexpected form, sitting fourth in the table with 19 points, ahead of giants such as Tottenham, Manchester City, and Liverpool. Their rise &#8211; and need for added depth in attack &#8211; has put Gim\u00e9nez firmly on their radar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>Gim\u00e9nez\u2019s time with Milan has not unfolded as hoped. Through eight Serie A matches, he has yet to score or provide an assist, a downturn that has fueled speculation about a winter overhaul of <i>the Rossoneri<\/i> attack. Gim\u00e9nez has also been linked to West Ham, who are reportedly exploring a swap involving Niclas Fullkrug &#8211; a sign that Milan could be preparing to move on from the Mexican forward.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>Adding to the frustration, Gim\u00e9nez is recovering from a lingering ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for several weeks. His absence has hurt his rhythm in Milan and limited his opportunities with the Mexican national team. The lack of playing time has only intensified conversations about whether a change of scenery would benefit both sides.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>According to the same outlet, Milan would consider signing a new center forward in January &#8211; but that move may hinge on Gim\u00e9nez leaving to free up a roster spot. In addition to Sunderland, Brentford have also inquired about a potential loan deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>This wouldn\u2019t be his first chance to cross into England: Gim\u00e9nez previously turned down an offer from Nottingham Forest during his final months at Feyenoord.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9>Now, with Sunderland flying high and Brentford solidly mid-table, both clubs see an opportunity to bring in a striker who, at Feyenoord, became one of Europe\u2019s breakout goalscorers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ff-h fs-16 lh-1pt6 mg-b-15 article-content\" data-v-b1ca39d9><i>Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?\u00a0<\/i><i><u>Create or log in to your FOX Sports account<\/u><\/i><i> and follow leagues, teams and players to receive a personalized newsletter daily!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>POPULAR SEARCHES BROWSE BY In partnership with\u00a0 Santiago Gim\u00e9nez&#8217;s future at AC Milan has become increasingly uncertain, even though his contract runs through 2029.
