Two La Liga clubs are battling to snap up Sunderland midfielder Wahbi Khazri, according to French broadcaster Canal+.
The Black Cats captured Khazri from French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux in the 2016 January transfer window, landing him on a four-and-a-half year deal.
He has most recently been at the Africa Cup of Nations with Tunisia and had been expected back at Sunderland to fight for his place.
But the midfielder may well be on the way out of the Stadium of Light as two Spanish sides are fighting for his signature in the dying stages of the winter transfer window.
The sides in question are Celta Vigo and Real Betis.

The Tunisia international has struggled to feature on a regular basis for Sunderland this term, despite their struggles, clocking up just eleven appearances in the Premier League.
Celta Vigo currently sit in eighth spot in La Liga, while Real Betis are 13th.
