Sunderland open their Premier League campaign away to Leicester on Saturday and M'Vila is hoping to make his debut against Claudio Ranieri's Foxes.


"I’ve played in France, Russia and Italy so I have good experience and I’ve also played against England with the national team," he added.


"I’m a midfielder who has good vision and I’m a good passer of the ball; I like to play box to box but I can also sit in front of the back four and protect the defence.


"Many people spoke to me before I joined the club and I believe d!ck Advocaat can improve me and help with my progression, and I also know the assistant coach Željko Petrovi? very well.


“I’m very excited to play against Leicester City and I’m looking forward to playing my first game in the Barclays Premier League, before playing match after match and having good results.”
