Sunderland have been urged to sign a ‘fantastic’ young striker who has just enjoyed a ‘brilliant’ loan spell.
Sunderland are desperately on the hunt for some new strikers this summer after their four arrivals this time last year failed to impress.
The Black Cats added Eliezer Mayenda, Luis Hemir, Nazariy Rusyn and Mason Burstow to their ranks, scoring three goals in the Championship between them.
The latter has now returned to parent club Chelsea and Sunderland have also been encouraged to send Hemir out on loan too.
The club now needs to bring in a proven goalscorer and bolster the squad depth in that No.9 position.
While Sunderland will be searching for a striker proven in the Championship, they have also been urged to sign another young gem that has proven himself further down the English football pyramid.
Mason Burstow
We Are Sunderland journalist Matty Hewitt has claimed that Derby County’s Dajaune Brown would be a ‘brilliant signing’ for the club.
The 18-year-old joined Gateshead on loan in January and has already bagged nine goals and eight assists, as well as putting on a standout performance in the FA Trophy final at the weekend.
Gateshead found themselves 2-1 down inside extra-time against Solihull Moors, before Brown pegged one back to level it after 110 minutes.
The match then went to penalties and Brown clearly felt no pressure, netting the winning penalty to claim silverware for the North East outfit.
Dajaune Brown would be a ‘brilliant signing’
Following the game, Hewitt wrote: “I may have my Gateshead tinted glasses on, but Dajaune Brown would be a brilliant signing for #SAFC. He was fantastic yesterday on the big stage. Pace, power and scores goals.
