Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray admits he has to give more chances to Amad Diallo.

The winger took some time to settle at the Championship club since arriving from Manchester United on loan this summer.

However, the Ivory Coast international is now in outstanding form, showing creativity and bagging a goal as well.

Mowbray said, "I think he got wrapped up in the game on Saturday (against Luton) emotionally and that was good to see.

“With his physical data, he was top in every aspect from distance covered to number of high-speed sprints, he was amazingly athletic as well as showing his talent.

"That bodes well for us and also accelerates him in my mind in terms of him being a starting player for us, beyond a young lad who I can bring off the bench."

Mowbray added: "I'm hoping that over time that's what happens with the other young lads, as well. At the moment they're still feeling their way in, but with Amad - and maybe it's because he's had more game time - he's in front and he looks to me like a first-team starter. They bring different qualities. Amad is dynamic and explosive."
