On-loan defender Alan Hutton is hopeful of turning his loan stay with Sunderland into a permanent one at the end of the season.

The 25-year-old former Rangers right-back has made eight appearances for the Black Cats since his arrival in January from Tottenham Hotspur, where he had fallen out of favour following a foot injury.

Hutton told the Sunderland Echo: "Of course I'd love to stay.

"It's a massive club and I get on really well with the manager and the rest of the team. They have got everything in place and they are building for the future.

"I came here desperate to play games. Playing games is all you want to do and, to be fair, I was doing that at Spurs until I had my injury.

"But it was hard for me at Tottenham when I came back from the injury and I didn't seem to get on with the manager all that well.

"But I came here to get playing regularly again, do well and then take it from there. I'll do my best between now and the end of the season and see where that takes me."
