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.
