DESPITE interest from German club Wolfsburg and others, Trai Hume revealed that signing a new long-term contract at Sunderland was an easy decision for him.

During the summer transfer window, there was plenty of noise around Hume as other clubs became interested, but he chose to extend his love affair with the Black Cats.

Speaking to the Belfast Telegraph, the Northern Ireland international revealed that talks over his extension ran “throughout the whole summer” but that his priority was always to commit his future to the club and test himself in the Premier League.

“We were talking about the contract basically throughout the whole summer and we were just trying to get an agreement really,’ Hume said.
