'People were laughing at me' 😬

Well they aren't laughing anymore, Granit Xhaka!

[Luke O'Nien @LukeONien]

Last night, one of my dreams came true.

For years, I’ve dreamed about playing in the Premier League. Some people laughed at me. Some coaches I had when I was little said I’d never make it. Lots of people told me I wasn’t good enough and to give up.

But I’ve always held onto that dream of playing at the highest level. Deep down I believed that if I just kept working, kept learning, kept showing up every single day, then one day it might happen.

Last night, that dream that 4 year old me had….came true.

And if you’d told me I’d make my debut at left wing, up against my mate Mo Salah, I’d have laughed as well.

From non league in 2014, to being released by Watford in 2015… there were moments where it felt like this day might never come.

Sunderland, you’ve been my home for seven years. I never knew I could fall in love with a club, a city, and its people the way I have. You’ve given me space to grow, to fail, to learn, and to find out who I am as a player and a person. To play even a small part in rebuilding this beautiful club and helping it climb back to where it belongs is something I’ll always be proud of.

Making my Premier League debut… I’m incredibly grateful. Taking a moment afterwards to stand with my mum and dad and breathe it all in… that was special.

But that debut chapter is written now. The focus is on pushing on, improving, growing, and helping drive this club forward with this unbelievable group of players.

Seven years ago we were in League One. Fast forward to last night and we have a team giving everything, disappointed to only get one point against the Premier League champions. If that’s not a moment to stop, reflect, and feel proud, I don’t know what is.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey; my family, my friends, the staff, the supporters, and my teammates.

It’s just the beginning ❤️

🔵🚜 Ipswich Town agree deal to sign Jack Clarke from Sunderland, here we go!

Package worth £20m with add-ons included.

#SAFC also secured a sell on clause as part of the deal.

One more important, ambitious signing for #ITFC.

Tonight’s shameful scenes do not represent our culture, our history, or our people. Our great city is built on togetherness and acceptance, and Sunderland will forever be for all. We are stronger as one community. Now. Then. Always. ❤️🤍
