Anthony Reveillere looking forward to Sunderland debut

Sunderland signing Anthony Reveillere is in line to make his debut tonight at Crystal Palace.

The Frenchman is excited about playing in England, and expects the normally excellent Selhurst Park atmosphere to inspire him.

"The Premier League is a competition I have watched very closely and I have played against some of the teams, including the Manchester clubs, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur," he told his new club's website. "I also came up against Liverpool in the Champions League and against Swansea City last season - I really enjoy the atmosphere and the mind-set towards football here in England.

"I had some opportunities to come to England during my time at Lyon and before I joined Napoli, so here I am at 34 and what can I say other than better late than never? I am very keen to help out and contribute."
