Former Sunderland striker Louis Saha is backing the Black Cats to return to the Championship ahead of the League One play-off final clash with Wycombe. The Frenchman spent six months at the Stadium of Light at the tail end of his career but saw his contract terminated on Deadline Day in the 2013 January window.
The former Manchester United forward played 11 times for Martin O'Neill's Sunderland but failed to find the back of the net during his time on Wearside. Despite a brief tenure at the Stadium of Light, Saha looks back on his time fondly.
Speaking to Lord Ping, he said: “I’d love them to go up. I only spent six months there but it’s not right for the Football League to have such a big club in this division.
