Sunderland DOF Feels Championship Loan For Black Cats And Leeds United Target Unlikely

Last season the 20-year-old joined Sunderland on a season-long loan and turned some heads with his performances for the Black Cats.

Sunderland are keen to bring Amad back to the club for a fresh loan stint, but they face competition from freshly relegated Leeds.

However, Speakman believes that a return to the Championship this summer for Amad is hard to see as his talent means he should be playing in a top tier league.

The Sunderland sporting director stressed that the club are happy to have been able to help Amad in his development last season and believes that his success story with the Black Cats will help them attract more talented players in the future.

“I’m so happy Amad sat in here at the end of the season with me and Tony [Mowbray] and had a vibrant smile on his face”, Speakman told The Athletic.

“He loved it.

“Naturally, that’s what we want.

“Can Amad return to Sunderland? I don’t think so.

“He should be playing in tier one, in England, La Liga, Bundesliga, wherever.

“That’s the level of a player he is.

“The staff here, the players and supporters have helped him get back on that journey and hopefully that will attract more players to want to come to Sunderland.”

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will take a look at Amad during pre-season and decide on his future, with a host of clubs waiting to see what the Dutchman wants to do with the winger.
