It appears that Sunderland’s winger Jewison Bennette is likely to go out on loan before the upcoming transfer deadline next week.
Sunderland is poised to approve their second departure in January, as Jewison Bennette is nearing a loan move to the Greek team Aris. Bennette has faced difficulties securing a spot in the team this season and is keen on a move this month to increase his playing time, ultimately enhancing his international prospects with Costa Rica. Sunderland is supportive of the 19-year-old’s decision, granted that they are confident the team and environment at Aris will contribute to his chances of making an impact at Sunderland. Aris currently holds the fifth position in the top tier of Greek football.
According to reports in Costa Rica, Bennette is expected to travel to Greece over the weekend. Sunderland had already confirmed Jack Diamond’s transfer to Carlisle United earlier on Thursday, with the winger joining on loan until the conclusion of the season. This arrangement will extend until the end of Diamond’s existing contract with Sunderland.
Sunderland has received a significant boost as one of their promising academy talents has pledged his long-term commitment to the club. Trey Ogunsuyi, a Belgium youth international who showcased his skills in the senior team during the early stages of pre-season, has officially signed his first professional contract with the club.
Regarded as one of the most promising prospects in the academy, Ogunsuyi joins Tommy Watson in securing his future with the club. It is anticipated that Chris Rigg will follow suit when he reaches the age of 17 later this year.
Expressing his excitement, Ogunsuyi described signing a professional deal with his boyhood club as a ‘dream come true.’ Academy manager Robin Nicholls expressed the club’s delight at this positive development.
Academy manager Robin Nicholls expressed his joy over Trey’s signing of his inaugural professional contract with the club, stating, “We are delighted that Trey has signed his first professional contract with the club.”
Highlighting Trey’s substantial progress during his years with the club, Nicholls emphasized his vital role in the U18 squad. Additionally, Nicholls acknowledged Trey’s recent call-ups to Belgium youth international teams, underscoring his recognition on an external level.
With Trey’s future now secured, the focus shifts to his aspirations of earning recognition at the Under-21 level and ultimately breaking into the first team. Nicholls extended congratulations to Trey and his family, recognizing the significance of this proud day for them.
