Muntari made his Black Cats debut at Stoke last weekend

Sunderland defender Titus Bramble believes midfielder Sulley Muntari will only get better after an impressive debut against Stoke City on Saturday.

The 26-year-old Muntari joined the Black Cats on loan after making only 11 appearances for parent club Inter Milan this campaign.

"Sulley was one of the best players on the pitch," Bramble told BBC Newcastle.

"It's a shame he got tired but once he's played one or two games for Sunderland he'll be even better."

The Ghana international, who played for Portsmouth before joining Inter, has scored 17 goals in 56 games for his national team.

Benin international midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, signed from Paris Saint Germain for £6m during the transfer window, has also impressed Bramble.

"Sessegnon was fantastic playing behind Asamoah Gyan because he's got such a good brain he's hard to pick up," Bramble added.

"He finds little holes, he gets on the ball for us and gets us going forward. He and Sulley are two fantastic signings from the manager in January."
