Tony Mowbray insists Leon Dajaku has a part to play for Sunderland - despite admitting he has found it tough to fit the German into his side. Dajaku spent last season on loan on Wearside from Union Berlin and the Black Cats' promotion from League One trigggered a permanent transfer.
But the former Germany U19 international has struggled for gametime, making only two starts and a handful of substitute appearances in the Championship. Dajaku arrived as a winger but faces stiff competition from the likes of Patrick Roberts, Jack Clarke, Amad, and Jewison Bennette in those wide positions.
More recently 21-year-old has been used as a central striker during the absences of Ross Stewart and Ellis Simms through injury, but it is clear that he is not really suited to that role. "He's got some good attributes and he needs to get his confidence levels up," Mowbray said of Dajaku.
