Sunderland has made a new offer to loan Joe Gelhardt to Leeds United
Sunderland has made a new offer to loan Joe Gelhardt to Leeds United, and the club is giving it serious consideration. A number of other Championship teams have shown interest in signing him.
Sunderland have reportedly made another attempt to get Gelhardt from Leeds, as reported by The Northern Echo. The twenty-year-old had planned to rejoin his previous academy team, Wigan Athletic, the next January. The Latics, meanwhile, have not yet settled on a transfer fee for his services.
The striker is still wanted by Wigan, but Sunderland has renewed optimism with the delay in Gelhardt’s move. The club is set on granting the Liverpool native a loan departure from Elland Road this month. This season, he has had trouble getting playing time under Jesse Marsch.
Wigan had made an attractive offer for Gelhardt’s loan, and Leeds was investigating it. As the worst team in the Championship, Kolo Toure’s group is anxious for another scoring threat at the DW Stadium. So far, they have scored 27 times in 28 games.
Blackburn Rovers see the value in having the England U21 potential on board at Ewood Park. Sunderland has made a new offer, and Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta is working feverishly to complete a loan deal for Gelhardt before the deadline.
After discussing Black Cats manager Tony Mowbray’s reputation for nurturing young players, Leeds is appreciative of Sunderland’s interest in a loan deal for Gelhardt. The team at the Stadium of Light may provide the striker with a similar opportunity to earn a promotion. They are now eighth in the standings.
Only one point separates Sunderland from a play-in spot, while only three separate third through tenth place. Ellis Simms, 22-YEAR-OLD, was on loan at Wearside from Everton, but the Toffees have now recalled him. After scoring seven goals in seventeen games, the Toffees brought the striker back.
Marsch has started Gelhardt, who has been praised as “very lively” by Jamie Redknapp, in 15 Premier League games so far this season. The 20-year-old has started only one game in the Premier League and has played for just 201 minutes. Similarly, he hasn’t scored but has contributed twice.
