Fulham and Aston Villa are reportedly keen to sign Sunderland midfielder George Honeyman, who could be available for a cut-price fee.
The Black Cats' relegation to League One, combined with Honeyman having just a year left to run on his contract, means that he is expected to be offloaded to the highest bidder during the summer transfer window.
According to The Sun, promotion-chasing Fulham and Villa have both joined Championship rivals Sheffield Wednesday in showing an interest.
Honeyman is one of just a few Sunderland players to have impressed during their relegation campaign, scoring six times and setting up two more from across midfield.
The same report suggests that Lynden Gooch and Paddy McNair may also move on prior to next season.
