Outgoing: Dajaku departs for HNK Hajduk Split

Sunderland AFC and HNK Hajduk Split have reached an agreement for Leon Dajaku to join the Croatian Club.

The permanent move is subject to the 22-year-old completing a medical and signing his contract with the SuperSport HNL side.

Dajaku moved to the Stadium of Light in August 2021 and featured on 22 occasions in his first campaign on Wearside, contributing four goals and four assists as the Black Cats earned promotion to the Sky Bet Championship.

The German made 37 appearances in total for SAFC and is expected to complete a move to the Stadion Poljud on 01 July 2023.

Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “Leon played his part during our promotion-winning campaign and we thank him for his contribution over the past two seasons. The Club has progressed rapidly throughout his time at the Stadium of Light, meaning that opportunities have become increasingly limited within a senior environment. This move represents the best outcome for the Club and player, as it will provide Leon with the right challenge to continue his development.”
