Sunderland boss Martin O'Neill could go global to boost his squad this month.

O'Neill was bubbling even after the cruel 1-0 reverse at Chelsea and admits he is enjoying every minute.

O'Neill said: "Yes, in a perverse sort of way I am. It's a great game and I've missed it. I've missed the competitive nature of it all and the Premier League in general.

"What did I do when I was out? Hibernation!

"I watched a lot of football and believe it or not I know every player in the Peruvian League!"

That could be interesting with the transfer window open.
