According to Herald.co.zw, Sunderland have signed Tinashe Chakwana following the 20-year-old striker’s release from Burnley.

It has been reported that the young Zimbabwean striker has joined Sunderland in League One after his exit from Premier League club Burnley.

The youngster did well for the Clarets’ youth team, but the striker failed to break into the first team.

One suspects that Chakwana will line up with Sunderland’s Under-23 side, but first-team manager Jack Ross could well give him playing time next season.

Chasing promotion

Sunderland were expected to finish in the top two of the League One table last season, but the Black Cats could only clinch a place in the playoff and lost in the final at Wembley Stadium in London.

The Black Cats will be determined to clinch one of the two automatic promotion places next season and return to the Championship.

It is going to be hard, and manager Ross will have to make some very good signings in the summer transfer window.
