Bryan Oviedo has suggested he would be keen to leave Sunderland, if a Premier League club was interested.
Sunderland fans have reacted with anger to Bryan Oviedo’s suggestion that he would like a Premier League move.
Oviedo only joined Sunderland from Everton during the January transfer window.
However, the Costa Rican has cast his future at the Stadium of Light into doubt.
He said to the Sunderland Echo: “I have a contract with Sunderland, it is a great team with very good infrastructure, the only problem was the relegation.
“If I have to continue in the Championship, it is a great league but I will always look for the option to remain in the Premier League.”
Oviedo’s comments have sparked anger among Sunderland supporters.
However, Black Cats fans do not appear to be too disappointed that Oviedo could depart.
Oviedo has made just 10 Sunderland appearances to date, and he has failed to impress.
The former Everton man could not stop Sunderland slipping to relegation.
Oviedo’s good relationship with former Sunderland boss David Moyes was one of the key reasons behind his move to Wearside.
