Sunderland boss Roy Keane has said that he was very impressed by the way Jonny Evans handledhimself when out on loan at the club, and would jump at the chance to secure him on a permanent basis.

Keane said: "If I thought there was an opportunity to bring Jonny to Sunderland, we would consider it.

"He did brilliantly for the club before, as did Danny, and it would be nice if we thought they'd come back."
