Sunderland are eyeing West Brom trialist Momo Sissoko.
The Mirror says David Moyes is planning to snatch Sissoko from under the nose of rival Premier League manager Tony Pulis.
Mali and former Liverpool midfielder Sissoko is training with West Brom, and Baggies chief Pulis is ready to offer him a deal and end his eight-year exile from the top flight.
But Sunderland boss Moyes is also keen to sign up Sissoko, who has been without a club since leaving Shanghai Shenua last February.
Moyes believes Sissoko's experience could be vital to the Wearsiders hopes of beating relegation again this season after dodging the drop last time around.
