“Intriguing” – Claim made as Sunderland’s Jewison Bennette is linked with Reading FC

Sunderland have enjoyed a blistering start to their Championship campaign.

Frenchman, Regis Le Bris, arrived at the Stadium of Light back in June to fill the vacant managerial role, and has already become a popular figure among the Sunderland faithful. He has inherited an incredibly young squad, full of talent, and there is optimism this season that the club can go on and achieve promotion.

Their opening fixtures have increased the optimism even further as, on the first weekend of the season, they pushed aside Cardiff City with a 2-0 away victory.

The following weekend then saw them dominate Sheffield Wednesday and pick up a comfortable 4-0 victory in front of the boisterous Stadium of Light crowd.

There is real excitement surrounding Sunderland, Regis Le Bris and his high-potential squad at the moment, but the new manager must try and get the best out of every single player in order to succeed. That may have to involve sending a player or two out on loan in order for all of his young stars to thrive.

One player currently linked with a loan move away from the Stadium of Light is young winger, Jewison Bennette.

Jewison Bennette linked with loan move to League One

According to The Tilehurst End, League One Reading are aiming to sign Sunderland’s Jewison Bennette on a loan deal for the duration of the season.

The 20-year-old has struggled for game time at the Stadium of Light and will likely continue to struggle as the Black Cats aim for promotion to the Premier League. It is vital that Bennette plays regular football, so a move to League One would be the perfect opportunity for him.

The winger has got plenty of experience at international level, having made 15 appearances for Costa Rica and representing his nation at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, coming up against Germany, Spain and Japan in the group stages.
