‘It means everything’: Matty Young on Sunderland as Liverpool interest reported | OneFootball

Matty Young’s past remarks underline how much Sunderland means to him, a timely backdrop to reported Liverpool interest.

According to Sunderland Echo, Liverpool are monitoring the 19-year-old after an impressive start to his season-long loan with Huddersfield Town. The Premier League champions are said to view him as a potential future number one.

Young signed a new Sunderland contract until 2030 earlier this year, and his comments then stressed the pull of establishing himself at the Stadium of Light.

“I am over the moon to sign this contract,” Young said. “It proves the last two years out on loan have been worth it.” “I am proud of the achievement, but I am still focused and determined to keep progressing.”

“The loans over the last two years have really helped me grow up and define who I am as a goalkeeper.” “Understanding my strengths, my weaknesses, and what I need to improve on every day.”

“As a Sunderland supporter, being in and around this Club means everything to me.” “My family are Sunderland through and through, so for them to see me sign this contract is really special.”

His pathway has been built around senior football with Darlington, Salford City and now Huddersfield. Given his Sunderland roots and long-term deal, the next aim remains breaking into the Black Cats’ first team before any longer-term decision is made.
