The Northern Ireland international says he is “100%” convinced that fellow fullback Mukiele will lift his game to new heights at the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats signed Frenchman Mukiele from Paris Saint-Germain earlier this month and he is versatile enough to play at fullback or in the centre.

Prior to joining Sunderland, Mukiele amassed an impressive CV on the Continent.
