Winger Timur Tutierov joined City on loan from Premier League side Sunderland, until the end of the 2025/26 season.
The Ukrainian attacker joined the Black Cats from Kolos Kovalivka in 2023, having already gained experience with senior matchday squads in Ukraine’s top flight.
Tutierov made an immediate impact at Sunderland, impressing on his Under-21 debut with a dynamic performance that showcased his pace, power and work rate. During the 2024/25 season, he made 16 appearances for the U21s, scoring four goals, while also becoming a regular for Ukraine’s Under-19s as they competed at the 2024 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
In 2025, Timur took the next step in his development by making his debut at Under-21 international level. This season, he has continued his fine form, registering nine goals in 13 youth competition appearances and earning places on the bench for four of Sunderland’s Premier League fixtures across December and January.
