Sunderland's Amad Diallo has been for the for the Sky Bet Championship Young Player of the Season award for 2023. The Black Cats forward has become a fan favourite over the course of the season, surpassing any expectations supporters had upon arrival.
The Ivory Coast international, who joined Manchester United for a fee that could rise up to in the region of €40million if certain factors are met, had struggled for game time at Old Trafford and endured a difficult loan spell with Rangers prior to his arrival on Wearside. However, the 20-year-old has flourished under the guidance of Tony Mowbray and has been one of the Championship's standout performers.
Amad has an impressive 11 goals in 35 appearances, whilst also providing three assists for Sunderland this season. Although his long-term future looks to be back in Manchester, the red and white faithful have been impressed by the striker's performances and he's a firm fan favourite.
