Sunderland are close to finalising a season loan for Atletico Madrid right-back Javier Manquillo.
The 22-year old has had spells with Liverpool and Marseille in recent seasons.
The Black Cats were reportedly competing with Premier League rivals Watford for the Spain Under 21 international, although it seems that David Moyes has won the race.
Manquillo was signed by Brendan Rodgers at Anfield on a two-year loan deal in 2014, but only made 10 appearances for the Reds before he was returned to Spain.
