Sunderland centre-back Luke O'Nien has said he "would love" Lutsharel Geertruida to remain at the Wearside club as his loan comes to an end. The Netherlands international joined Regis le Bris' side on loan from Bundesliga team RB Leipzig at the start of the 2025-26 campaign, but the club have not confirmed whether they will make a permanent move for the 25-year-old. Although Geertruida featured in the Netherlands' friendly against Ecuador in March, he has not been selected to feature in Ronald Koeman's squad at the 2026 World Cup.
