Calum Davenport is keen to make his loan move to Sunderland a permanent one.

The West Ham defender has been at the Stadium of Light since January and is enjoying his time there so much he hopes he can win a permanent deal.

"The main focus for me is to do a job for Sunderland, then we'll get to the summer and see what the situation is," he told the Sunderland Echo.

"But I'd definitely sign if Sunderland wanted me in the summer.

"Whatever happens, I won't be at West Ham next season. I've got another year left on my contract but I'll be moving on in the summer.

"I've really enjoyed myself here and I settled in really quickly. I've been all over the country so it wasn't a problem for me.

"I thought I might be travelling up and down to London, but I haven't done that at all. I've stayed up here and just got back to see the family when I can.

"There's a massive fanbase here and the club has terrific facilities. Playing in front of 40,000-plus every week is amazing and, even at Bolton last weekend, there were 5,000 Sunderland fans at the game - incredible."
