‘When You Watch Him Live’ – Sunderland Star Catches Eye Of Ex-Championship Player

Ex-EFL star Sam Parkin thinks that Sunderland left-back Dennis Cirkin has been one of the outstanding players in the Championship so far.

Cirkin came through the Tottenham Hotspur academy before joining Sunderland in 2021 and has 86 appearances for the Black Cats under his belt.

Under Regis Le Bris, he has been a regular starter for Sunderland this season and has featured in all nine league games for his team so far.

Parkin believes that Cirkin’s movement with the ball is eye-catching and pointed out that the Sunderland star is good at going forward and tracking back.

He thinks that the left-back’s on-the-ball decision-making has been top-class in the ongoing campaign and believes that he is one of the outstanding players of the division so far.

I think he has been one of the most outstanding players in the division this season”, Parkin said on the Championship Check-In show.

“When you watch him live, he is a very good athlete.

“I think he gets up and down; it is eye-catching the way he moves with the ball, but his decision-making on the ball and his ability on the ball have been top-class this season.”

The rumour mill has burst into life early with the January window fast approaching with Philippe Clement’s side touted as a potential destination for the veteran midfielder after struggling to make his mark in Amsterdam. The 34-year-old joined Ajax in January from Steven Gerrard’s Al Ettifaq but has managed just three league appearances since the arrival of boss Francesco Farioli in the summer.

The Black Cats and Rangers have been touted with a move for the England international with a host of English Championship and Premier League sides said to be keeping tabs on a deal. But his former Sunderland teammate Darren Bent reckons a return to the Stadium of Light would be the perfect fit, telling talkSPORT: “I mean, he’s 34, but I still think he could definitely do a job in the Premier League, 100 per cent – he looks after himself.
