Sunderland’s position on the future of Callum Styles has been revealed.
Sunderland attempted to sign Callum Styles early in the January transfer window, but were forced to postpone their interest due to the midfielder’s need for appendix surgery.
However, the Black Cats revived the move on deadline day and eventually signed him on a loan deal with the option to make it permanent this summer.
Styles was anticipated to come in as a midfielder, with Corry Evans still out for months.
However, due to the injuries of Niall Huggins, Aji Alese, and Dennis Cirkin, the 24-year-old was forced to play both left-back and left wingback.
Styles had a horrible start in the loss to Swansea City and has mainly struggled in a back-four, but recent games against West Brom and Leeds United have seen him put in some’superb’ performances as part of a back five.
The Barnsley player has started seven games since regaining full fitness, but is yet to start in his regular midfield position.
Will Sunderland sign Callum Styles permanently?
With only three games remaining, the Black Cats will need to decide whether to sign Callum Styles permanently.
