Jake Vokins
How is he doing?
Like Valery, Vokins was sent on-loan to get game time and joined Sunderland until the end of this season. He made three starts in his first five games there but has not played since.
Saints future?
The left-back showed some good potential in his first games for Saints but will need more time on the pitch for Sunderland if he is to come back to the South Coast in a fresh state.
