Kyril Louis-Dreyfus brushes up on his Mackem ahead of proposed takeover

Prospective new Black Cats owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus is brushing up on his Mackem ahead of a takeover at the club.

The 23-year-old posted an image of the Mackem Dictionary to his social media page as he looks to immerse himself in the North-East culture.

The new Sunderland was spotted for the first time as the Black Cats lost to Shrewsbury in midweek - getting a glimpse of his new team at their worst.

Lee Johnson revealed that the deal was still with the EFL but is close to being complete and said the club should get used to seeing the Frenchman around the place.

It's rumoured that Louis-Dreyfus has spent the past week at the Academy and Stadium of Light as he gets to grips with the club.

It's not likely that the new owner will be fluent in the local dialect by the time the takeover is announced but it's nice to see him getting to grips with the culture.
