Sevilla are reportedly preparing a summer move for Sunderland midfielder Alfred N'Diaye.
The Senegal international spent the second half of the 2013-14 season on loan at Real Betis, but was unable to help the Seville-based side remain in Spain's top flight.
As it stands, the 24-year-old is due to return to his parent club for pre-season in July.
However, according to Inside Spanish Football, Sevilla want to sign the powerful midfielder, who is expected to be available for a minimal fee this summer.
N'Diaye has two years remaining on his current deal with Sunderland.
