Signs with Sunderland
Ellborg has signed with Sunderland from Malmo, according to his new club.
ANALYSIS
Ellborg is off to England for the next stage of his career, joining Sunderland on a deal until the summer of 2030. This will give the club a new backup option in net, with the 22-year-old a player with promise moving forward, serving as Malmo's starter recently. That said, he will look to make a push for their starting role in the coming seasons, with Robin Roefs the current starter for the club.

Target for Man United?
Ellborg has emerged as a potential transfer target for Manchester United in the January transfer window, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
Manchester United feel they've found their top-choice goalkeeper with the acquisition of Senne Lammens, but they think they could see another backup that would be an upgrade over Altay Bayindir. Ellborg has emerged as a potential transfer target. The 23-year-old seems more than ready to play in a more competitive league, so don't rule the Red Devils out from making a move in the coming weeks for him.
