Sunderland 'agree deal' for permanent transfer of ex-Tottenham midfielder Romaine Mundle - reports

Sunderland have agreed a deal with Standard Liege for Romaine Mundle, according to reports.

Mundle came through the youth academy at Tottenham Hotspur and signed his first professional contract with the club back in May 2021 before leaving to join Standard Liege last year.

The player trained with Spurs' first-team squad at times during his time in London and made the match-day squad for a  UEFA Europa League match against F.C. Pacos de Ferreira in 2021.

However, during his time with Tottenham, the midfielder predominately played for the youth ranks in the team in Premier League 2 competition, scoring seven goals and providing four assists during the 2022-23 season. Mundle is primarily a winger comfortable playing off either flank.

Mundle has made six appearances in the Belgian Pro League since joining Standard Liege last summer after signing a four-year deal. However, the player appears to be heading to Wearside on a permanent deal.

On Twitter, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano said: "Sunderland agree deal for the permanent transfer of Romaine Mundle from Standard Liége. Former Tottenham midfielder returns to England as he’s joining Sunderland."
