Sunderland make enquiry to loan Chelsea forward | OneFootball

Sunderland are among the clubs to have enquired about a loan deal for Chelsea forward Marc Guiu.

Guiu joined Chelsea from Barcelona last summer but featured for just 71 minutes in the Premier League. He did impress in the Europa Conference League, scoring six times in six appearances, before a hamstring injury decimated the latter half of his debut campaign.

Sunderland are one of several sides keen to hand the Spaniard regular senior football next season. Sky Sports are reporting that the newly-promoted Black Cats are one of three clubs to have enquired about the 19-year-old.

Chelsea want Guiu’s full salary to be covered as part of any arrangement and will only accept straight loans. The teenager is viewed as a part of the club’s long-term future.

Sunderland are keen to improve their firepower, with leading scorer Wilson Isidor netting just 13 times in the Championship last season.

Regis Le Bris’s side have invested heavily this summer, spending more than £120m after the recent recruit of former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka.
