EFL Championship outfit Sunderland have confirmed the signing of England youth-teamer Jake Clarke-Salter.

The central defender will remain on loan at the Black Cats for the remainder of the 2017-2018 campaign.

Jake Clarke-Salter featured prominently for England as they won the Fifa U20 World Cup for the first time in their history last summer, partnering Chelsea teammate of Nigerian parentage Fikayo Tomori in central defense.

''Jake is a hugely talented young player who has jumped at the opportunity to come to this club and show people what he can do,'' manager Chris Coleman said.

You don’t play for a club like Chelsea unless you have tremendous ability and I’m sure he will be able to demonstrate that for Sunderland. ''

The 20-year-old joins Nigerian starlets Josh Maja and Joel Asoro at Sunderland.
