Mikael Mandron hopes for a future at Sunderland.
Mandron has signalled his desire to break back into the first-team picture after a short spell on loan with Fleetwood Town in League Two, which helped to toughen him up.
"The game is quicker and much more physical," the young French forward said.
"I really enjoyed it and I think going out on loan is a great experience for a young player."
