Following Jack Clarke’s departure from Sunderland, Romaine Mundle has stepped up admirably in his new role with the club. Despite only starting six games since his arrival in January, Mundle seized the opportunity to reclaim a starting spot after Clarke’s move to Ipswich Town.
Mundle’s performance against Burnley, where he scored a goal reminiscent of Clarke’s style, helped secure a crucial win for Sunderland. The young winger has already made a positive impression on fans and former teammates, including Clarke himself.
Having been teammates at Tottenham Hotspur before reuniting at Sunderland, Mundle will be looking to follow in Clarke’s footsteps and establish himself as a key player in the team. While he has shown promise, Mundle’s raw and chaotic style is reminiscent of Clarke’s early days at the club.
With the funds from Clarke’s departure, Sunderland may have the opportunity to invest in other areas, but giving Mundle the chance to shine in Clarke’s absence seems like a worthwhile decision. The win against Burnley has proven that Sunderland can thrive without Clarke, and Mundle’s potential is certainly worth exploring in the Championship.
