Salis Samed joins Sunderland on loan

Salis Abdul Samed has completed his season-long loan move to Sunderland AFC from RC Lens, the club announced on Wednesday, 4 September 2024.

The center-midfielder arrived from the French outfit on Friday(30,August) as one of four new additions on deadline day.

Abdul Samed says he wants to ‘help the team go as far as possible’ as sat down with safc.com to discuss his

move to England and look ahead to the next 42 games in the Sky Bet Championship.

“I’m very happy to be here – I spoke with the Head Coach about the project and how the supporters love the Club, so it seemed like a good place for me to progress,” he said.

“I know the Head Coach well from his time at Lorient, and his best friend was my coach at RC Lens, so they had some discussions about me.

“To win four games in a row is very difficult, but four games is not enough and we need to continue to work hard and get more wins. I’m a competitor and I love the competition for places – we work as a team and move forward together.”

Abdul Samed becomes the fifth Ghanaian to sign for Sunderland after John Mensah, Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari and Antoine Semenyo.

“I met Asamoah Gyan when I was away with the national team, and he talks to us and gives us advice. We sometimes talk on the phone. I don’t think he knows I’m here yet, but when he does I’m sure he’ll be very happy.”
