Chemsdine Talbi

Chemsdine Talbi of Sunderland was born in Sambrevile, Belgium on 9 May 2005 (age 21).

Chemsdine Talbi, born on 9 May 2005 (age 21), is a Moroccan right winger with Sunderland. He wears the number seven shirt and remains a regular first-team presence in 2025–26, which matters more than any neat promise attached to a young wide player.

His most productive league spell so far came at Club Brugge in 2024–25, when he scored five goals in 21 league appearances. That was enough to show he could contribute beyond occasional flashes, even if the sample was still modest.

At Sunderland, Talbi has made 31 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring four goals. That includes 28 Premier League appearances and two in the FA Cup, with his league involvement underlining that he is not being parked on the edge of the squad. His current market value is around £850,000, according to Transfermarkt.

He has also represented Morocco this season, making one World Cup qualifying appearance in Africa. For now, his career is still in its early stages: a productive year at Club Brugge, a regular role at Sunderland, and senior international involvement beginning to appear on the record.

Chemsdine Talbi made 28 Premier League appearances for Sunderland in 2025–26, with 16 starts, 12 substitute outings and four goals. The split suggests a regular squad role rather than fixed starter status, but four league goals from the right wing gave him a measurable attacking contribution. He also added four goalless cup and international appearances across the FA Cup, Africa CON and WC qualifying.

Talbi's trajectory was narrow but upward: a trainee move to Club Brugge in 2015, production at Brugge level by 2024–25, then a major switch to Sunderland in 2025. At 21, the profile reads more like a late-development winger stepping up in level than a settled journeyman, with one major club change rather than repeated loans.

The transfer record is simple: Talbi moved from an unknown club to Club Brugge as a trainee in 2015, then Sunderland paid €20m for him in July 2025. That fee points to a significant bet on upside, especially against a listed market value of €1.00m, and marked a clear move from Belgian development pathway to Premier League exposure.
