Sunderland midfielder Seb Larsson believes Darron Gibson can make a big impact on their game.

The Swede has seen enough in his new team-mate to hope that he can improve that aspect of their game between now and the end of the season.

Larsson said: “He's done well – he's obviously a very good player. It is never easy coming in and playing straight away.

“He's a good passer of the ball. hopefully that's something we can use more as the games go on. Hopefully that can be the case and he can take control of games for us."
