Sunderland are understood to be lining up a move for Mohamed Diame.
The midfielder, who is currently a free agent following his departure from Wigan Athletic, recently claimed that a transfer to Liverpool fell through after the club had sacked Kenny Dalglish.
Black Cats boss Martin O'Neill could now step in for the 24-year-old, according to The Mirror.
Despite reported interest from Real Betis, the Senegalese international is expected to hold talks at the Stadium of Light in the next 48 hours.
