Sunderland face a Spanish battle for Tottenham midfielder Didier Zokora.
The Sun says Zokora is a target for Atletico Madrid, Sunderland and Sevilla.
Sevilla have offered £7.5million for Spurs' Ivory Coast midfielder - but Atletico have asked permission to speak to the 28-year-old, who cost £8.2m from St Etienne in 2004.
A source close to the player said: "Didier will make a decision in the next few days."
