Highlights

  • Sunderland's striker Mason Burstow has an option in his loan deal that allows his parent club to recall him in January. His lack of goals and shots on target is concerning for the team.
  • Losing Burstow in January would be tough for Sunderland, as he is the manager's preferred number nine and has shown potential as a goalscorer in previous seasons.
  • If Burstow is recalled, Sunderland would be left with even fewer options up top and would need to scramble to find a replacement in January, similar to their struggles in the summer transfer window.
