"My first game at The Lane wasn't even a league game, but the atmosphere against Roma was unbelievable," the summer signing from PSV Eindhoven told the club's official website. "I hope it will be the same for Sunderland."
He added: "The same goes for the travelling support for the game against Middlesbrough, which was great for the team and very important for our confidence.
"I know it will be a difficult game against Sunderland, but we play to win at home and the fans will be behind us, so we have every chance of a win."
