Sunderland have been linked with a loan move for Leeds United defender Charlie Cresswell – according to reports.

The 19-year-old has predominantly played as a centre-back for Leeds’ under-23 side and has also made five first-team Premier League appearances. The Whites turned down a loan move from Sunderland last summer.

Preston-born Cresswell started his career at Leeds United in 2013, before signing a two-year scholarship with the club in 2018. He then signed his first professional contract with the club in September 2019.

Cresswell captained the under-23s to the Premier League 2 Division 2 title and was nominated along with teammate and former Sunderland player Sam Greenwood for the Player of the Season award.
