Leon Dajaku will seal a permanent move to Sunderland in the wake of the club's promotion to the Championship. Dajaku spent the season on loan with the Wearsiders from German side Union Berlin, and a clause in the deal meant that his switch would become permanent in the event of promotion - and that clause was triggered following Sunderland's play-off final win at Wembley on Saturday.
Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: "Leon's contract will crystallise [into a permanent move] based on us being promoted. We were really pleased with all of our loans. They've all had an impact on our team and an impact on our success at different times, and that has been really pleasing."
Germany U19 international Dajaku made 27 appearances in all competitions last season, some playing on the wing and some at wingback, with the 21-year-old scoring four goals. He would likely have played more games had he not suffered from illness in the final couple of months of the campaign.
