Leon Dajaku is said to be close to a move to Croatian side Hajduk Split, as Sunderland look to offload the winger this summer. The former Germany U19 international has failed to make a significant impact since joining the Black Cats from Union Berlin, initially on a season-long loan deal, two years ago.
Dajaku played just under half of Sunderland's League One games, and scored four goals, as the club won promotion via the play-offs the season before last. Sunderland's promotion triggered a clause which converted Dajaku's loan move into a permanent switch last summer, but he went on to make just ten appearances in the Championship before drifting out of Tony Mowbray's plans, and in January the 22-year-old joined Swiss side St Gallen.
Dajaku made a strong start in Switzerland but then faded and will return to Sunderland ahead of the new season, although a better solution would be for him to find a new club as he is likely to be a fringe figure at best if he sees out the final year of his contract on Wearside. Croatian outlet dalmatinskiportal.hr says Dajaku is close to sealing a switch to Hajduk, which would suit all parties.
