Sunderland loanee Wilson Isidor has revealed that he hopes the club signs him permanently after joining on loan with an option to buy.
Sunderland have had a flying start to the season, with the Black Cats topping the table after eight games.
Regis Le Bris has quickly made his mark on Wearside, with his side looking like a completely different outfit to last season. Despite having a largely similar squad to last year, they look like a side reinvented under new management.
Having lost talisman Jack Clarke towards the end of the window, there was a fear that their attack would not be the same but the goals have kept flowing.
Wilson Isidor is among those to have joined the club and now, he has spoken to the Sunderland Echo regarding his future.
The forward is on loan with Sunderland for now with an option to buy included, but Isidor is already clear on where he wants to be. He said:
“I am on loan but with an optional buy. But no, for me, I want to continue with Sunderland and write the club into my career and my history.”
Promising early signs
After making cameo appearances from the bench against Portsmouth, Plymouth Argyle and Middlesbrough, Isidor made his first start last weekend in the defeat to Watford.
In the defeat, Isidor scored his first goal for the club, showing the instincts of a centre-forward, something the club have missed since Ross Stewart left.
He impressed up-front once again in the 2-0 win over Derby County on Wednesday night. He was on the scoresheet once again, showing the signs of someone who can come in and become a much-needed talisman on Wearside.
Signed as a Clarke replacement?
Regis Le Bris has revealed that Isidor was in fact signed as a left-winger in his post-match interview.
Despite Isidor looking like the striker the club have been crying out for, that was not going to be his natural role. The club knew he could play there, but it seems was the intention for him to be on the wing.
Only an injury for Eliezer Mayenda has led to Isidor starting up top. Despite Mayenda’s good start, it could be a blessing in disguise for the Black Cats.
