Wahbi Khazri tells Sunderland boss Moyes: Play me here...

Sunderland attacker Wahbi Khazri has urged manager David Moyes to play him as a No10.

For the draw with West Brom, the Tunisian international was pushed into the number 10 role when Sunderland switched to a wing-back system with the introduction of Patrick van Aanholt.

And the former Bordeaux playmaker believes that is his best position.

“I think the change in tactics was good for the team. I played number 10 and I am happy because I like this position," he told the Sunderland Echo.

“I like playing behind Jermain, I touch the ball more.

“When I have the ball. I can play right or left of him and. for Jermain. I think it is better because he needs one or two players to play with him.

“I am happy to be playing in behind him."
