Having made 40 appearances for Sunderland last season, Ekwah has seen his playing time diminished this year under new head coach Regis Le Bris. This drop in the pecking order can be attributed to a combination of injury and the outstanding form of players like Chris Rigg, Jobe Bellingham, Dan Neil, and new summer signing Alan Browne.
The Sunderland Echo has reported that numerous clubs from both England and abroad have shown interest in Ekwah. Among them are Udinese, Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Leicester from the Premier League. However, it seems that Saint Étienne has emerged victorious in the race to secure the services of the talented midfielder.
As the transfer deadline approaches, Sunderland is set for a hectic day on Wearside. There are expected to be various comings and goings as head coach Regis Le Bris looks to mold his squad for the remainder of the season. Despite the changes, Sunderland currently finds itself sitting comfortably at the top of the Championship table.
Fans and pundits alike will be eagerly awaiting any further developments as the transfer window draws to a close. With the potential for more arrivals and departures, the Black Cats could look quite different in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more updates on this evolving situation.
