Davenport enjoys Sunderland life
Sunderland defender Calum Davenport has said he is happy with life on Wearside after joining the club on loan from West Ham United in January.
The 26-year-old is yet to feature for Ricky Sbragia's side, but the former Coventry centre-back believes this has helped him to settle in the North East.
"I've really enjoyed the last few weeks, not playing has helped me settle," he told BBC Radio Newcastle.
"It always helps when you know a few faces coming into a new place."
Davenport will remain with Sunderland until the end of the season, having had a loan spell with Watford in January.
Meanwhile Saturday's visit of Tottenham Hotspur presents several of the current Sunderland squad, including Davenport, with an opportunity to reacquaint themselves with some familiar faces.
Andy Reid, Teemu Tainio, Steed Malbranque, Marton Fulop and Davenport have all had spells at White Hart Lane, while current Tottenham players Ben Alnwick and Pascal Chimbonda count Sunderland among their former clubs.
"It's always nice to see old faces, but when you're a professional you take every game as it comes, it's another game," said Davenport.
"It's a home game and you're more interested in going there and getting a result."
