Jason Denayer has confirmed what his Sunderland performances always said about him, by e sentially saying he thought he was too good for the club. Denayer was part of the notoriously gutle s Sunderland team led by the even more gutle s David Moyes that was relegated from the Premier League in
2017. He has since been playing for Lyon in Ligue 1 until his contract came to an end last summer. Lyon wanted to retain him and Wolves were very interested in signing him. However, expecting interest from a top club that,
naturally, never materialised, Denayer turned both down and he has now basically blamed Sunderland for his delusions of grandeur. When I was still playing at Manchester City, the club loaned me out to Sunderland, Denayer told Het Nieuwsblad. I made that transfer because the club asked me to. Scroll to ContinueWe were relegated from the Premier League, we played all the time not to lose. I became
very unhappy with that. I learned a le son from it. Its not that I felt too good for the clubs that wanted me, but they werent teams that were aiming for a European ticket. And I absolutely
want to play to win trophies.Turning down a move to a Premier League club and turning down a contract extension with Lyon because he was expecting better offers appears to have backfired on Denayer, who has signed a deal with Dubai club Al-Shabab. He, though, says he does not see it as something that will impact his career.
Im 27 and I have a one-year contract in Dubai, he said. Whats the problem? There are so many players who made such a transfer and came back afterwards and performed well in Europe.
