Ghanaian midfielder Salis Abdul Samed helped Sunderland AFC return to the English Premier League after defeating Sheffield United in the promotion play-off final.
The Black Cats came from a goal down to defeat the Blades 2-1 at Wembley, securing their top-flight return after eight years.
Tyrese Campbell gave Sheffield United the lead in the first half, but Sunderland recovered in the second half with Eliezer Mayenda netting the equalizer before second-half substitute Tom Watson snatched a late winner.
Salis, who is on loan from French club RC Lens, was an unused substitute in the play-off final.
However, the Ghana international played a key role in the Black Cats’ return to the English Premier League, making ten appearances during the regular season.
Injuries marred the midfielder’s campaign, but Salis showed quality in the few games he played for Sunderland.
The club has the option to make his move permanent or extend his stay for another season with a new loan deal.
He is expected to join the Black Stars squad for the Unity Cup tournament in London.
