Sunderland Under-21s coach John Hewitson has backed Adil Aouchiche to make a first team breakthrough after an impressive showing in the Premier League Cup.
Sunderland could be ready to hand Adil Aouchiche a first start for the club after coach Mark Venus admitted the Frenchman had ‘made everyone take notice’ with his performances.
The jury is still out to some extent on a few of Sunderland’s summer signings, but Adil Aouchiche has certainly made a very positive impression. What’s more, he’s managed to do it without even starting a game yet.
