Sunderland striker Ola Toivonen says he had no hesitation about joining the Wearsiders despite their current position at the bottom of the Premier League.

The 29 year old Sweden international arrived on a season-long loan from Rennes in late August to link up with former PSV coach Dick Advocaat.

"There's nothing for me to hesitate about," Toivonen told BBC Newcastle.

"Dick and other people spoke highly about the club, there are the great facilities and the chance to play in the Premier League, the Premier League speaks for itself."
