Sunderland pursues Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye in transfer window

Summary

Sunderland is reportedly interested in signing Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye during the current transfer window. The club faces competition from Everton, Crystal Palace, and Brighton for the 27-year-old Senegalese player, who had a strong season last year. Gueye contributed five goals and two assists in 39 matches for Villarreal. His contract runs until summer 2028, making a low-cost transfer unlikely. Sunderland manager Regis Le Bris could benefit from Gueye's energy and skill in midfield if a deal is completed.
