‘I’m disappointed’ – Liverpool prodigy Jayden Danns speaks out after Sunderland transfer twist

Jayden Danns‘ loan transfer on the day of the deadline was ultimately complicated. The fact that the highly-regarded Liverpool player has a back problem that would require time for recovery before he can make his debut dampened Sunderland’s excitement at signing him.

On Merseyside, Danns is so well regarded that he committed to Southampton for the remainder of the season after signing a new, long-term contract with Liverpool. He has made four appearances for Arne Slot’s team this season, including against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.

In an attempt to keep up their campaign for promotion, Sunderland is acquiring a player with enormous potential. The Championship’s top two teams, Leeds United and Sheffield United, are right behind Regis Le Bris’ team, which is now ranked fourth.During the winter transfer window, Kristjaan Speakman and the Sunderland recruitment staff placed a high priority on acquiring a striker to help them in their quest. Landing Danns was a boost after losing out on players like Ben Brereton Diaz and Tom Cannon to Sheffield United and Marcus Edwards to Burnley.

But before he can assist his new teammates, the athlete must wait. The 19-year-old will need to return to Liverpool’s training field for the initial phase of his rehabilitation after a back problem was discovered during his physical.

Despite the short-term setback, Danns is happy to be a member of the team and claims that he researched the team before joining after receiving offers from Blackburn Rovers and Hull City, two Championship teams.

He stated: “I’m very grateful for the opportunity and thank the club for believing in me because this is my first loan move and a chance to prove myself.” This seems like the correct move because I’ve done my homework and the team is amazing.

“While I’m sad that I won’t be able to do that right away, I’m happy to have joined the team and will put in a lot of effort during this time to make sure I can get back to work and contribute.”

Danns participated in the EFL Cup final at Wembley Stadium last season, as Liverpool defeated Chelsea to win a medal. Four days later, he scored twice as the Emirates defeated Southampton in the FA Cup.

The striker last scored for the Reds one month ago as Slot’s team defeated Accrington Stanley 4-0. He joined Liverpool at the age of eight. It highlighted the potential that Sunderland hopes will help them advance, which is why they were prepared to wait until the last minute to sign their player.

“Jayden is a very talented player who fits the profile we were looking for,” Speakman stated. Because of Liverpool’s timetable and the huge desire for him, his availability was always going to be decided late in the window, so we put a lot of effort into securing the player.

“It’s regrettable that the medical procedure revealed a problem that eventually necessitates Jayden taking some time off. He was still really eager to visit Sunderland in spite of this, so we decided to work with Liverpool to make sure he had a chance to join us later.We are still thrilled about the opportunity to collaborate with him and are eager to help him in the approaching time frame.
