Sunderland new boy Jeremain Lens believes Dick Advocaat is the perfect manager to squeeze the best form out of him after completing a move the Wearside. The deal for the 27-year-old was confirmed yesterday, with a fee believed to be in the region of £9 million, and Lens is hoping to hit the ground running by the time the season gets underway. Having previously worked with Advocaat at AZ and PSV, Lens is hoping to return to top form under his compatriot's guidance. He told safc.com: "It will be the third time , I have good periods with him, in PSV I reach my own record, 15 goals in the season, I hope I will do the same and score even more. The manager is a good manager, he tries to get the best out of the players. In my personal opinion he's a good coach for me because he can reach the qualities I have, he can make everything come out, I hope it will happen again. "I'm fast, I can score goals, I can create chances, so I hope this season the supporters will see a lot of my qualities. I think it's a good club, it's a great step for me, playing in the Premier League. I followed this club, and I think it's a good club, good team, so I'm really happy to be here. "I'm now 27, I play in the Dutch national team, I play a lot of European games and the Premier League for me is the main test, it will be really good to play some games here." Lens will now jet out to California to link up with his new teammates.
