Sunderland hot prospect Henry Fieldson ready for Scotland loan move

In-demand Sunderland youngster Henry Fieldson is wanted by Queen’s Park on loan. That’s according to the Daily Record who revealed the 18-year-old is currently on trial with the Scottish club with a view to them taking him on loan.

Sunderland are keen to offload the prospect on loan next season to help him get some experience under his belt. Fieldson, 18, has been on the books of the Black Cats for his whole career to date and has been a regular for the Championship side at various different youth levels. The North East outfit have turned to former FC Lorient boss Regis Le Bris this summer as their permanent replacement for Michael Beale following Mike Dodds’ temporary spell in charge.

In this latest transfer update relating to the Stadium of Light club, the Daily Record claim Fieldson may be shipped out to Scotland. The Spiders play their football in the Scottish Championship. A switch to Queen’s Park would be a good chance for Fieldson to boost his development.

The Glasgow club finished eighth in the Scottish second tier in the last campaign and are managed by former Blackburn Rovers, Leicester City and Preston North End defender Callum Davidson.

Fieldson has risen up through the ranks at Sunderland and needs senior football under his belt so this could be the ideal opportunity. He played 48 competitive games for the Black Cats’ U18s and chipped in with a couple of goals from the back.

The teenager has since broken into their development squad in Premier League 2 and will be looking to get into Le Bris’ starting XI in the future.
