Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is excited about not having to sell his best players.

He said: "With this club, they can manage to hold on to their players - at Wigan, I sold them the dream of using the club as a stepping stone.

"At this one, you have to be established, you have to have a bit about you to play here because of the demand, the expectation and the support, so you have to have a mentality, which I will obviously try to bring to the team."
