Danns Joins Sunderland on Loan

Liverpool forward, Jayden Danns has joined Sunderland on loan until the end of 2024-25 season. 

Danns’ loan comes after a breakthrough year for the 19 year-old who made his senior debut in a 4-1 home win over Luton, before he went on to feature in the Reds’ Carabao Cup title triumph over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium days later.

The youngster has since gone on to score three goals in nine senior appearances but is now currently sidelined after his medical highlighted a back injury, although he has also signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool ahead of his loan switch.

Danns though is aware of the fact that Sunderland will be his first loan club and is keen to prove himself on Wearside, especially with the Black Cats currently in the automatic promotion hunt for Premier League football next season – as they lie fourth in the Championship at present.

” This is my first loan move and a chance to prove myself, so I’m very appreciative of the opportunity and I’m grateful to the Club for placing their faith in me.

“I’ve done my research and the team is incredible, so this feels like the right step. I’m disappointed that I will be unable to do that straightaway, but I’m proud to have joined the Club and I will work hard throughout this period to ensure I can return to action and play my part.”

Sunderland’s Sporting Director, Kristjaan Speakman added: “Jayden is an extremely talented player, who fits the profile we were searching for. His availability was always going to be determined late in the window due to Liverpool’s schedule and the demand for him was high, so we worked extremely hard to secure the player.

“It’s unfortunate that the medical process highlighted an issue that ultimately requires Jayden to take a period of rest.

“Despite this, he remained highly motivated to come to Sunderland and as such we agreed to collaborate with Liverpool to ensure there is an opportunity for him to join us at a later date. We remain excited by the prospect of working with him and look forward to supporting him throughout the upcoming period.”
