Sunderland have reached an agreement with Eliezer Mayenda over a new contract that will keep the young forward at the club until June 2030.
The deal is expected to be signed imminently, securing one of the club’s brightest prospects for the long term.
Despite attracting interest from a number of clubs this summer, Mayenda made it clear he was only ever focused on continuing his development at the Stadium of Light. His commitment has been welcomed by Sunderland as they look to build for the future.
The 20-year-old, who joined from Sochaux in 2023, has impressed with his physicality, directness and potential to grow into a key figure in the squad. The new deal reflects the club’s belief in his long-term role.
With the contract now agreed, Sunderland can turn their attention to strengthening the squad around young talents like Mayenda.
