Ahmed Elmohamady has given Steve Bruce a welcome boost by issuing his desire to move to Sunderland on a permanent basis.

The Egyptian winger, currently on loan from ENPPI, has been a revelation at the Stadium of Light this season, and his performances have seen both Manchester United and Arsenal reportedly express an interest in the 23-year-old.

Ahmed Elmohamady is unconcerned about the speculation and insists that Sunderland is the only place he wants to be:

"I like the vibe here,"

"It’s a nice place and people are so friendly. Everyone has been so helpful, especially here at the club. I feel as if I’m back home in Egypt."

"I want to keep on playing in the Premier League, not for a year or two only. I want to do well for myself and my country.

"The gaffer is a very good manager, and he’s so respectful. He likes commitment. He trusts his players and we should repay his trust." (Daily Mail)
