Charlton Athletic are reportedly looking to sign Sunderland midfielder El-Hadji Ba?
The 22-year-old joined Sunderland from Le Havre in 2013 but has made just one appearance during his time at the Stadium of Light.
Ba spent last season on loan with Bastia back in his homeland, but the French youth international broke his leg in October which kept him out for six months.
Charlton are said to be willing to offer Ba the opportunity to revive his career in England.
According to The Chronicle, the Championship outfit will offer him a three-year contract.
Ba, who has a year remaining on his Sunderland deal, made seven appearances for Bastia last term.
