Aleksic heads to Poland on loan

Sunderland midfielder Milan Aleksic has joined Polish side Cracovia on a season-long loan.

The 20-year-old joined from FK Radnicki 1923 in his home country of Serbia last summer and has made 10 appearances for the Black Cats across all competitions, scoring one goal.

Sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: "At 20 years of age, Milan is a player who possesses the potential to progress to the next level, but to do this, he needs regular games in an appropriate environment.

"Cracovia have made a positive start to the season domestically, and this move will provide Milan with the platform he needs at this moment in time."
