We are delighted to welcome Romaine Mundle to Sunderland AFC. The 20-year-old winger has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at the Stadium of Light, moving to Wearside from Belgian Pro League side Standard Liège for an undisclosed fee. London-born, Mundle’s career started with his boyhood Club Tottenham Hotspur and he spent 15 years in N17 before departing for Belgium in July 2023. His final season in North London was a progressive one, as he scored seven goals and assisted five more in 24 Premier League 2 appearances for Spurs’ development outfit. The 20-year-old’s performances didn’t go unnoticed at Hotspur Way and they were rewarded by former Head Coach Antonio Conte, who promoted him to the first-team squad in early March. He was subsequently named on the bench five times in the Premier League, following on from his maiden appearance in the North Londoners’ senior matchday squad for an Emirates FA Cup tie last January. Mundle becomes the Club’s second signing of the January transfer window and subject to international clearance, we are hopeful that he will be available for selection when the Lads face Middlesbrough on Sunday at the Riverside Stadium. Sunderland AFC Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “Talented players like Romaine are highly sought after and we saw this first hand in the summer when he left Tottenham Hotspur. We didn’t anticipate him being available on a permanent basis, but when we sensed an opportunity, we moved quickly and decisively to make it happen - our ways of working and structure are a real strength in these moments. This is an important step in Romaine's career following a spell overseas and we look forward to helping him settle, as he makes Sunderland his new home. He’s got a bright future ahead of him as part of an exciting squad, and we look forward to working with him.
He needs to stop using such corporate messages in his quotes. Our ways of working and structure... I usually don't mind his language but that's even a bit **** for me
Love deadline day. Duncan McGuire was on a plane from USA to sign for Blackburn through the night, Blackburn pulled out while he was on the plane and now he's sat in a hotel somewhere trying to force a move through somewhere else.
Excited by Mundle. His profile is very good indeed. I suspect we werent the only club wanting to do this deal. Maybe we are the only one able to do it quickly though? As Speakman says, we can move quickly. It is nice to know as well we have money for the right players, but are clever enough to not burn it all. £2m is no small number in the championship. No doubt one we will be wanting to see a profit on, but I think also one we might really enjoy watching as fans. The fact he came out of Spurs academy has me expecting a lot of very good things about his play. Unlike some I all in for Styles too. I am fsn of his and will give us another option and balance. Fingers crossed he comes in too.
Im a fan of styles as well mate, i don't think hes a great wingback- which is where barnsley play him, but hes a good cm with room to grow
Brighton trying to sign Josh Robertson. Would be gutted at that. Looks a real player out of contract in summer tho hopefully we get a sell on
Yes but really disappointing to hear we’ve let another one get to this age with his contract expiring and no loans
