During his official presentation as an AS Monaco player this Wednesday, 24-year-old winger Simon Adingra opened up about his frustrating tenure with Sunderland, characterizing the experience as “difficult.”
The Ivory Coast international has moved to the Ligue 1 side on a loan deal through the end of the season, with Monaco holding an option to make the transfer permanent for a reported €17m.
Key Takeaways from the Move
- A Fresh Start: After a high-profile transfer from Brighton to Sunderland, Adingra struggled for game time, managing only nine Premier League starts.
- Regaining Momentum: The forward admitted that his lack of minutes led to a loss of enjoyment and confidence.
- Focus on the Future: Adingra is prioritizing his development at Monaco, stating that he is eager to “move forward” and leave the setbacks in England behind.
