SKY CONFIRM: Sunderland AFC Hijack Rotherham’s Move for Bradford City Star
Sky Sports has confirmed that Sunderland AFC have sensationally hijacked Rotherham United’s move for Bradford City’s highly rated star. The 21-year-old forward, who has enjoyed a breakout season with the Bantams, was believed to be on the verge of signing for Rotherham before Sunderland swooped in with a late offer.
Talks accelerated over the past 48 hours, with the Black Cats reportedly offering improved personal terms and a clearer pathway to Championship football. Bradford City, though reluctant to lose one of their top prospects, were persuaded by Sunderland’s financial package and the player’s desire to test himself at a higher level.
This move marks a major statement of intent from Sunderland as they look to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season. Meanwhile, Rotherham are left scrambling for alternatives after seeing the deal slip through their fingers at the final hurdle.
