Sunderland sign Leeds winger Poveda

Ian Poveda becomes Sunderland's fifth signing of the summer

Sunderland have signed winger Ian Poveda from Leeds United on a three-year deal with the option of an additional year.

The 24-year-old Colombia international spent the second half of last season at Sheffield Wednesday and was released by Leeds this summer.

"All I want to do is get on the pitch and play for Sunderland," Poveda told the club website.

London-born Poveda began his senior career at Manchester City, before moving to Leeds on a permanent deal in 2020.

During his four year spell at Elland Road, the winger also had loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool.
