Sutton United have announced the double signing of striker Ollie Sanderson on loan from Fulham and left-back Nino Adom-Malaki on loan from Millwall, as confirmed via statements on the club’s website.
Newly appointed manager Steve Morison has taken little time to bolster his squad, bringing in both players on loan until the end of the season, having already bought in Charlie Lakin on loan last week.
Sanderson comes in on loan off the back of an impressive spell at National League side Oxford City, having scored 10 times and getting three assists in 27 games. After coming through the academy system at Fulham, Sanderson finally makes his breakthrough into the EFL, after having two spells on loan at Oxford City.
Oxford City currently sit 23rd in the league, fighting for survival, and with Sanderson scoring just under a third of their goals in the league it will certainly be a blow for Ross Jenkins’s side and will leave a glaring hole up front unless replaced adequately.
Sutton have also moved to bolster the squad in the left-back spot, bringing in Nino Adom-Malaki from Millwall. The full-back has currently spent his whole career in the Millwall academy system, with this move being his first jump into senior football.
With Sutton currently sitting 23rd in League Two, they will have a real uphill battle on their hands come the second half of the season with the fight for survival on. New manager Steve Morrison, who has been recently hired from Non-League side Hornchurch, has a tough job to do but with new signings is slowly building a squad he feels is fit to keep them up.

Although I don’t know much about Adom-Malaki, I do know that Sanderson is a brilliant forward who I rate very highly but has gone under the radar this season in the National League.
He’s a good signing that I’m sure will help move Sutton United the right way in the league table and hopefully keep them in the EFL.
