Sunderland have no interest in signing West Brom target Momo Sissoko, Sky Sports News HQ understands.

Reports in the national newspapers on Tuesday claimed Black Cats manager David Moyes was looking into giving the free agent, who has been training with West Brom, a contract.

But it appears Baggies boss Tony Pulis has a clear path to signing Sissoko himself should he decide to, after the midfielder played in a friendly win over Delhi Dynamos during the international break.

Former Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain star Sissoko, 31, is on trial following a stint with Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua and is determined to grab his chance to return to the Premier League.

He told Sky Sports News HQ: "I feel good. I was really happy to play for 60 minutes at The Hawthorns and I am confident I can do well here.

"It's been a long time since I left England. I'll be here with West Brom this week and we'll see what happens after that.

"The manager has told me just to come and enjoy it and then we'll sit down and talk about my future. But I'm really happy to be back with a club in one of the best leagues in the world and I hope I can stay here."
