MEN’S QUARTER: Southern Brave vs. Manchester Originals
Sunderland have signed teenage Chelsea forward Marc Guiu on a season-long loan.
The Spaniard, now 19, moved to Stamford Bridge for £5m from Barcelona in July 2024 and scored six goals in 16 matches for the Blues last season.
Describing himself as “a powerful striker” and “natural goalscorer”, Guiu said of his transfer to Sunderland: “This year is a huge opportunity for me to help take this team where it truly deserves to be, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Sunderland earned promotion to the Premier League by beating Sheffield United in the Championship play-off final in May.
Guiu becomes the Black Cats’ ninth signing of the summer.
He came through Barcelona’s celebrated La Masia academy and scored just 33 seconds into his debut in a 1-0 win against Athletic Bilbao in October 2023.
After moving to England, he scored three goals against Shamrock Rovers in the Conference League last season to become Chelsea’s second youngest player to net a hat-trick.
Sunderland sporting director Kristjaan Speakman said: “In a loan acquisition, we not only have to convince the player but also the parent club, and we thank Chelsea for placing their trust in us.
“Most importantly, Marc wanted to come to Sunderland and be a part of our club. The competition for his signature was significant and he had many high-quality options.

The EFL says there are no restrictions stopping Sheffield Wednesday starting the Championship season on Sunday but has called on the troubled club’s owner to end the “current uncertainty and impasse”.
It is in “advanced discussions” with Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri over the sale of the club amid a tumultuous off-season featuring delayed wages for players and staff, registration and transfer-fee embargoes and stand closures.
In a statement, the EFL said it has extended the fee restriction on the club, meaning they are unable to complete any transfers or loans which involve a fee until after the January 2027 winter transfer window.
The Hillsborough side, who travel to Leicester City for their season opener on Sunday, have lost £178m between 2015, when Thai businessman Chansiri bought the club, and 2024.
Manager Danny Rohl left the club by mutual consent in July while the North Stand at Hillsborough has closed because of concerns over its structural integrity.
Players and staff have had wages delayed during May, June and July, and a behind-closed-doors training match with Burnley was cancelled after the squad refused to play.
BBC Sport understands Owls players will fulfil the trip to Leicester on Sunday as the first-team squad who have been fit enough to train this week are available for selection.
The EFL said it “stands alongside all those associated with Sheffield Wednesday football club who are deeply concerned and frustrated by the ongoing and developing challenges at the club”.
In a statement, it added: “The league wants to see a strong, stable and competitive Sheffield Wednesday, and for that to happen we are clear that the current owner needs either to fund the club to meet its obligations or make good on his commitment to sell to a well-funded party, for fair market value – ending the current uncertainty and impasse.
“We continue to pursue options available to us to resolve the current challenges, and to that end the league is currently in advanced discussions with Mr Chansiri’s legal advisors on formalising a process around divestment of his shareholding in the club.”
The EFL said Wednesday would receive its basic award payments this week, along with a Premier League solidarity payment, to help with paying staff and players as well as meeting its other obligations.
And, with the other sources of funding for the club being the cash it can generate and money from Chansiri, the EFL suggested players sales could be another option.
Wednesday, who have also missed payments to HMRC and face rising debts, have just 15 first-team squad members.
“The independent club financial reporting unit (CFRU) has been in daily dialogue with the club over recent weeks as it seeks to finalise its cashflow requirements,” said the EFL.
“Alongside this, the CFRU is actively looking at available options in respect of the club’s playing squad, as a means of helping to ensure that it can fulfil its fixtures, while still respecting the restrictions imposed through the current registration embargo and fee restriction.”
The extension of the transfer ban came as the club had “surpassed 30 days of late payments for the year beginning 1 July, 2025”.

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Son Heung-min has joined Major League Soccer (MLS) side Los Angeles FC on a permanent transfer.
BBC Sport understands that LAFC have paid an MLS record fee of $26m (£19.5m).
The forward revealed in a news conference on Saturday that he would leave Tottenham after 10 years at the club.
The 33-year-old was present at LAFC’s 2-1 Leagues Cup win over Mexican side Tigres UANL on Tuesday.
The paperwork and medical were completed this week, allowing Son to complete the transfer.
Son joins an LAFC side currently sixth in the Western Conference and reunites with former Tottenham team-mate Hugo Lloris.
He made his final appearance for Tottenham in a 1-1 pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul, South Korea, on Sunday.
After arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 he scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Spurs.
He was captain when Tottenham beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in May to clinch their first trophy in 17 years.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: “Sonny is one of the greatest players to ever wear the famous Lilywhite shirt and he has been a joy to watch over the past decade.
” Not only is he a wonderfully gifted footballer, but he’s also an incredible human being who has touched hearts and inspired people throughout the club and all over the world.
“Sonny has given so much to this club, both on and off the pitch, and for that we are forever grateful.
