Sunderland attacker connected with Hibernian now switchches | January transfer window…

Sunderland’s forward, Jewison Bennette, is reportedly being considered for a loan move in the January transfer window. Despite recovering from a virus and a minor ankle injury, the Costa Rican winger has faced limited opportunities in the first team this season. With fierce competition for places, Bennette is rumored to be a potential target for a loan move to Hibs in Scotland.

Bennette, who made 18 appearances for Sunderland last season, has only played twice for the club in the current campaign. Eager for more playing time, he is open to the idea of going out on loan. However, Sunderland’s preference is for the player to remain within the United Kingdom if he does depart.

Sunderland’s assistant head coach, Mike Dodds, emphasized the importance of discussing potential loans for young players not getting sufficient playing time. Dodds stressed that loans are viewed as a means to provide valuable minutes for the development of these players.

Regarding Bennette, Dodds highlighted the need to find the right type of loan that aligns with Sunderland’s style of play, ensuring the player can practice and enhance the skills desired by the club. The decision on whether the loan would be domestic or abroad is still under consideration, emphasizing the club’s commitment to selecting a loan move that best serves the development of the player and aligns with Sunderland’s footballing philosophy.
