Sunderland are building a large squad as the club readies itself for its first Premier League campaign in eight years.
Eliezer Mayenda has committed his long-term future to the Black Cats.
It is a significant deal for the club to get sorted before the season starts, as the Spanish forward enjoyed a breakout campaign last term in the Championship. Mayenda contributed with 10 goals and five assists last season to help his side gain promotion to the English top-flight.
Mayenda has signed a new long-term contract with Sunderland, extending his stay on Wearside until 2030 following a standout breakthrough season.
The 20-year-old striker scored 10 goals and provided five assists as the Black Cats secured a dramatic return to the Premier League – including decisive strikes in both the play-off semi-final against Coventry City and the final at Wembley Stadium.
Now, attention will turn to others whose contract situations become more of a concern with a number of the Stadium of Lights’ favourites seeing their deals enter the last couple of years. Here is when every Sunderland player’s contracts expire with details from Transfermarkt.
