Sunderland have confirmed the arrival of 17-year-old Ukrainian striker Timur Tutierov. The youngster has signed a two-and-a-half year deal at the Academy of Light after leaving Ukrainian Premier League side FC Kolos Kovalivka.
Social media speculation has been rife regarding the club signing the youngster, with the Black Cats once again branching out when it comes to recruitment. Tutierov will train with the Club’s Under-18s having made the move to Wearside.
He cored seven goals in 15 appearances for Kolos’ youth side during the current campaign, but has also been named in the senior matchday squad on two occasions. Tutierov's arrival is the latest in a number of young signings following Kyril Louis-Dreyfus' takeover at the Stadium of Light.
