Sunderland defender Jason Denayer sees himself as a centre-half.

On-loan from Manchester City, Denayer has turned out at centre-half, right-back, left-back and central midfield for Sunderland.

“I prefer to play centre-back, but I think it's more important to play [in a different position] than not to play," he told the Sunderland Echo.

“I played midfield when I was young and I enjoy playing there – it is no problem to play there.

“It is better to play than sit on the bench, wherever you play, you are happy.

“That's what you train for, to play games."
