LuaLua on his new life at Sunderland
No one can deny that Sunderland have not had the most successful season after their relegation to the Premier League and needed someone to replace top goal-scorer Lewis Grabban if they have any chance of survival.
Mackem’s will be hoping that the key to staying up is within forward Kazenga Lualua who moved on a free transfer from Brighton and Hove Albion.
Recently Lualua spoke with representatives of Sunderland’s website on how he thought his start to playing for Sunderland had gone:
“I’ve settled in nicely and all the boys have made me feel welcome. It’s a nice place and the people are good, so it’s going well and I’m enjoying it.”
Sunderland find themselves 23rd in the Championship with only 1 win in 5 league games, only managing to keep away from bottom place on goal difference.
They lost at the weekend to a strong Brentford side but many fans are pleased with how they fared the week before, coming from 3-0 down to achieve a 3-3 draw away at play-off hopefuls Bristol City.
When asked about this result Lualua had this to say: “we came from 3-0 down to draw 3-3 which was a great feeling.
It’s not easy for us and the fans when you’re down like that, especially when they’ve travelled a long way to watch us.
It’s good to get game time and I was pleased to play a part in helping the lads come back, and I’m feeling fit.”
