West Ham United midfielder Pierre Ekwah is set to join Sunderland in a permanent transfer.
The 21-year-old, who joined West Ham for an undisclosed fee in June 2021 from Chelsea, has scored five goals in 11 appearances for the Hammers’ under-21s in Premier League 2 this season, with his latest coming in Friday night’s 3-2 defeat to Manchester United.
Earlier in the window, Sunderland had expressed an interest in signing Ekwah on loan and on Monday, both clubs were in discussions over a potential permanent transfer.
