Rumor: Chelsea looking to loan Matt Miazga to Sunderland

The former New York Red Bull needs a loan move to get playing time this season. Another alleged candidate for his services has emerged.

Matt Miazga hasn't had a regular first-team starting gig since he left the New York Red Bulls to join Chelsea. One imagines the 21-year-old was not expecting to walk into the starting lineup of a Premier League title contender, even when he joined it during one the rare recent seasons that Chelsea has not been in contention for a Premier League title.

Landing at his new club at the end of January, Miazga did get a couple of starts toward the end of the season, but it has been increasingly clear since new manager Antonio Conte took over that the young American was going to need to continue to develop with a different team - at least for this year.
