Hull City and Sunderland have certainly not enjoyed their return to the Championship. Both sides have struggled in the second tier since their relegation from the Premier League.

Sunderland are currently bottom of the table and are looking like the favourites to drop into League One. Hull City are just two points outside the dropzone.

So for both clubs, watching midfielder Alfred N’Diaye find his form at the team top of the league will be a bitter pill to swallow.

The Senegal midfielder has recently come to the fore at Wolves, playing a pivotal role in the team during February. Currently on loan from Villarreal he is looking to secure a permanent move to the Molineux – where Premier League football looks likely to be played next season.

He has however had experience of playing with both of the Championship strugglers.

He was at Sunderland on loan from Bursaspor in the second half of the 2012-13 campaign and helped them stay in the top-flight by just three points.

Last season he arrived at Hull for the second half of the campaign but could not repeat that feat as Marco Silva’s rescue mission came too late for the Tigers.

Wolves are now embracing his presence, whilst Sunderland and Hull will wish they still had the player in their midfield after their recent troubles.
