He only managed 23 appearances for the first team last term however with a knee operation during the summer hindering the start of his campaign.

And while his is waiting to see what other offers he receives before deciding on his Sunderland future, Larsson insists he is still able to perform against the best.

He said: “The motivation for me is to play at highest level possible. I feel fresh.

“I just turned 32 but feel physically no issues. I will keep going and see what options there are.”
