After a frustrating end to the transfer window saw one Sunderland man denied a move away from Wearside, it seems he has a new, very different opportunity at his feet now.
Truth be told, it was a frustrating transfer window for Sunderland as a whole. The signing of Enzo Le Fee may have been a brilliant bit of business, but Jayden Danns was an underwhelming arrival.
Now, the news that both Danns and Le Fee are injured long-term means the Black Cats essentially got no new players in the window, and will have to make do with what they’ve got until the end of the season now.
But, there’s one man who still won’t have a chance of making his way into Regis Le Bris’ plans. Thankfully, though, a move elsewhere appears to be on the cards.

Jewison Bennette subject of talks between Sunderland and LNZ Cherkasy
In the January window, it seemed Jewison Bennette was set for League One, with a loan move mooted and Charlton Athletic the suggested destination.
Now, though, Bennette is the subject of interest from Ukrainian side LNZ Cherkasy. That’s according to journalist Kevin Jimenez, who took to Twitter/X to say: “LNZ are interested in Jewison Bennette, negotiations are ongoing.”
Jimenez later added that this was a straight sale negotiation rather than a loan bid. Details of any offer are not disclosed at this time, but it appears a permanent move to the Ukraine would be the route forward here.
It’s worth noting, the Ukraine transfer window runs from January 27 through to March 11, so there is still plenty of time to get this deal over the line with immediate effect.
