Sunderland AFC is on the verge of signing Jay Matadean, a talented young forward who previously played for Manchester City’s Under-18s. The 18-year-old is expected to join the Black Cats on a scholarship deal after impressing during a trial spell at the Academy of Light last season. Matadean’s technical ability and attitude caught the attention of Sunderland’s staff during his trial, and the club is now finalizing an agreement to bring him to the Wearside setup full-time.
With experience playing in Manchester City’s Under-18 Premier League campaign, Matadean is well-equipped to make a significant impact in Sunderland’s youth ranks. This signing is part of Sunderland’s ongoing efforts to strengthen their development squads, with a focus on identifying and nurturing promising young talent. The club has already made several additions at youth level this summer, including Northern Ireland midfielder Matthew Burns and Lincoln City goalkeeper Isaac Allan.
Sunderland’s commitment to building a strong youth setup is evident, and Matadean’s signing is a testament to the club’s dedication to developing young talent. As the club prepares for their return to the Premier League, the future looks bright with talented young players like Matadean coming through the ranks.
The Black Cats are also reportedly showing interest in Spanish left-back Angeliño, currently on the books at AS Roma, and are in active negotiations with OGC Nice to sign Poland international goalkeeper Marcin Bulka. With these potential signings, Sunderland is gearing up for an exciting season ahead.
