Sunderland received more than positive news after having competed in a bitter match that ended in a1-1 draw against Bournemouth, with very doubtful refereeing questions that directly harmed Black Cats.
But in an important moment for Regis Le Bris's squad, they must be more united than ever with their team and with their players, where the good news that arrived is the renewal of one of the pillars of the team.
It is fundamental for Sunderland to continue with the solidity of a broad squad and above all with players who know the team and have had a more than important performance throughout their career at the club, and establish an important foundation for the growth of the players who are arriving.

In recent statements from the footballer after his renewal, he showed his emotion at the prospect of many more years with the club and how achieving so many objectives with Sunderland motivates him to continue being part of the project, and he also said that competing in the Premier League is a dream.
I am absolutely delighted to have signed a new contract. From the moment we started the conversations, it seemed like an easy decision to me and I am happy to extend my time at the Club. Achieving promotion last season was incredible and I feel very fortunate to have participated in some special moments in the recent history of the club. My goal this season was to stay in the team, compete every day and continue working hard to contribute. Hopefully, I can continue improving and help drive the club for many years.
