Sunderland are looking to acquire the services of 19-year-old Arsenal sensation Charles Sagoe Jr. on loan before the end of the window.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Sunderland are looking to bolster their attack before the end of the winter transfer window and they have their eyes on Arsenal’s Charles Sagoe Jr. The 19-year-old Arsenal prodigy has attracted a lot of attention from across Europe of late.
Who is Charles Sagoe Jr?
Sagoe Jr. was a part of the Fulham youth ranks before making the move to the North London club in the summer of 2015. He is currently a part of their Under-21 setup but is the only academy player who has played for the senior team this season.
The 19-year-old took the field for the first team against Brentford in the League Cup back in September. The English winger has done a great job for the youth team so far this season. At times Mikel Arteta has named him in the Arsenal first-team squad but he hasn’t been able to give him enough first-team action.
Sagoe Jr. is often compared to Bukayo Saka because of his style of play and the fact that he has the potential to be special. His potential as well as his performances have attracted a lot of interest. But, as per the report, Sunderland are the ones keen, and they have started making moves to sign him.
Sunderland Calling?
The Black Cats are looking to push for a return to the English top flight, and any reinforcement will surely help their cause. The 19-year-old can surely be an x-factor for them as he has the ability to take on defenders and create panic in the opposition’s defence.
The Championship club have been in talks with the player over a potential loan switch. With time running out the Black Cats are pressing hard for his signatures. They feel he could be integral to their chances. Arsenal will most likely agree to a potential deal as it will only help the player’s development unless they get better terms from another club.
