sunderland are now likely to sign “superb” 24 year old midfielder permanently in summer deal.

The position of Sunderland about Callum Styles’ future has been elucidated.

Early in the January transfer season, Sunderland attempted to sign Callum Styles, but were compelled to rescind

their pursuit after learning that the midfield player needed appendix surgery.

On deadline day, though, the Black Cats rekindled their interest in him and ultimately signed him to a loan

agreement with the possibility to extend it for a permanent position this summer.

With Corry Evans still anticipated to be out for months, Styles was expected to play mostly in the middle.

But due to injuries to Dennis Cirkin, Aji Alese, and Niall Huggins, the 24-year-old was forced to play both left back and left wing-back.

Although Styles has often struggled in a back-four, he had a horrible start in the loss to Swansea City. However, in

recent games against West Brom and Leeds United have seen him put on some ‘superb‘ performances as part of a back five.

The Barnsley man has started seven matches since returning to full fitness but is yet to start a match in his preferred midfield role.
