Sunderland unsure of recall for Eskisehirspor loanee N'Diaye

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet admits he is uncertain of what the future holds for Alfred N'Diaye.

The 23-year old Senegalese midfielder joined the Black Cats from Bursapor in January 2013 before being loaned to fellow Turkish outfit Eskisehirspor this past summer.

N'Diaye joined Eskisehirspor on a season-long loan but it appears as through the club is looking to cancel the agreement although Poyet is not too sure if Sunderland will allow that to happen.

"It's a situation that if everybody agrees and it's good for everyone, then we will be happy to help him. But I don't think it's done yet. They are talking because they probably want to do it," Poyet told the Sunderland Echo.

"But it's a very difficult decision for us. The club (Eskisehirspor) might be struggling to pay him, they might not want him or the player doesn't want to be there.

"If you agree with one or the other, it looks as if you're trying to push him.

"We've said 'put everything on the table' because it's their problem, it's not ours.

"And if they have done well and everybody's happy, then we're happy to do what is best for the player.

"It's important for the football club and important for the future because we paid a transfer fee for him. We'll either be looking to use him or get something from him."
