What do we think?
O’Nien, who is valued at £135k (as per Transfermarkt), has enjoyed a fine season for Sunderland so far, scoring four goals and providing three assists in 35 League One appearances, while averaging a WhoScored match rating of 7.08 in the league.
His impressive performances have helped Sunderland reach seventh place in the League One table, level on points with sixth-placed Peterborough United.
The defender has also clearly pleased Sunderland fans with his appearances in the new Sunderland ‘Til I Die Netflix documentary, with some claiming that the 25-year-old is “the star” of the programme.
