Sebastian Larsson is convinced Sunderland teammate Joel Asoro can have a big career.

The teenage striker has already caught they eye at Sunderland, during the club's pre-season camp in France, which led to him to becoming the club's youngest Premier League player when he came on as a sub in the derby defeat to Middlesbrough in August.

“I knew about him even before he broke through with us," the 31-year-old told the Sunderland Echo.

“The first time I saw him was when he broke through in France.

“He made a real impression, not just on the manager, because we saw a boy who was prepared to work really hard and he has the talent too."
