Much was expected of Jerome Sinclair when he joined Sunderland on loan from Watford in the summer of 2018.

Sunderland were in need for a forward at the time, and the 22-year-old was expected to be a key figure for the Black Cats in their quest to win automatic promotion from League One at the end of the season.

However, the former England Under-17 international failed to make an impact at the Stadium of Light and returned to Watford earlier this month.

According to WhoScored, the youngster was able to make just seven starts and six substitute appearances in League One for Sunderland, scoring one goal in the process.

Sinclair, though, seems to be on the move again. According to Sky Sports (Transfer Live blog, 12:47pm, Thursday, January 31, 2019), Sinclair is heading to Oxford United on loan on January transfer deadline day until the end of the season.

Oxford are 20th in the League One table at the moment with 31 points from 29 matches, level on points with third-from-bottom Bradford City, who have played 30 games.
