Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks.
The player is said to be on the radar of clubs including Manchester United and Chelsea.
Will Noah Sadiki move on?
Analyst Philippe Joos says the player is unlikely to stay at Sunderland for long. He is a high-quality player with a lot of talent and is likely to move to a big club in the near future.
“He’s the same player everywhere,” Filip Joos said through Sporza.
“I think that’s a tremendous quality. That’s a player from Union who plays at a higher level, and who plays exactly the same in a tougher league. I think he’s a great quality.”
“He’s not going to lose five per cent of what he was before out of fear or ‘I have to be careful here’ or out of respect. Nothing. He’s not going to stay at Sunderland, is he? He’s the perfect solution for a lot of teams.”
Sadiki was a key player
This comment will definitely worry Sunderland and it will be interesting to see if they can keep him at the club long term. They signed him at the beginning of the season and he became their player. There is no doubt that he is a great talent with a bright future.
Top clubs are already monitoring his development and it would be no surprise if they decide to sign him in the near future.
There is currently no pressure to sell him as he has a long-term contract at Sunderland, but the player could be tempted to move. That could be a worrying situation for the club.
They have performed very well since securing promotion to the Premier League and need to keep their best players if they are to survive in the top flight.
