Ajax Close to Signing Ivorian Winger Simon Adingra from Sunderland on Loan

Ajax are reportedly close to completing a loan deal for Ivorian winger Simon Adingra from Sunderland.

According to transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri, an agreement has been reached between Adingra and Ajax, with the Ivorian forward keen on a move to Amsterdam.

“Simon Adingra will sign for Ajax Amsterdam! Agreement reached between the Ivorian and the Dutch club,” Tavolieri reported.

Sunderland and Ajax are expected to complete the necessary agreements on Tuesday as the transfer moves closer to completion.

Adingra joined Sunderland from Brighton & Hove Albion in July 2025 in a deal worth nearly €25 million. However, he struggled for regular playing time during his first season, making just 14 appearances across all competitions.
