Bolo Zenden is keen to make a comeback at Sunderland.

The People says Zenden has urged Martin O'Neill to give him a second chance at Sunderland.

The Dutch winger ended a two-year spell with the Black Cats last summer and snubbed a chance to rejoin them in October while Steve Bruce was still boss.

But former Chelsea, Middlesbrough and Liverpool ace Zenden, a free agent, now feels more tempted to return to the Stadium of Light with O'Neill in charge.

The 35-year-old said: "I hope there is a different situation at Sunderland under Martin O'Neill. I am definitely open to rejoining them."
