Triantis’s transition to a midfielder role at Easter Road could potentially enhance his prospects of securing a spot in Sunderland’s team in the future. With Dan Ballard and Luke O’Nien’s performances solidifying their positions, Triantis’s struggles in defense suggest the need for reinforcement before he earns regular first-team football. However, excelling in midfield could provide Sunderland with an additional option, particularly given Corry Evans’s uncertain contract situation and the effectiveness of other midfielders. Despite hopes for a breakthrough, doubts persist about Triantis’s potential, leaving skepticism about whether he’s truly a hidden gem unearthed by Kristjaan Speakman.
