The Peterborough United winger is a lifelong Sunderland supporter.
Darragh MacAnthony has told Sunderland fans to forget about signing the Peterborough United winger, Marcus Maddison.
Maddison has been consistently among the top performing League One players over the past few campaigns, in which he has scored or assisted 113 goals in 190 games.
And the fact he is a vocal Sunderland supporter himself has only endeared him further to the Mackems faithful.
But when asked by one on Saturday whether Sunderland have made contact over Maddison, the Peterborough owner, MacAnthony, replied: “Sunderland fans need to forget it. Current director of football RH (Richard Hill) doesn’t rate Marcus at all trust me on that. .”
How much longer Hill, whose official job title is Head of Football Operations, will stay at Sunderland remains to be seen, however, with a takeover of the Wearside club said be looming.
Hill was brought to the Stadium of Light by the current Sunderland owner, Stewart Donald.
Will Maddison get his dream move to Sunderland?
