    Linked with Cisse, I dont know much about him, anyone know him ?

    Skysports.com understands Sunderland hold an interest in Papiss Demba Cisse, but the Freiburg striker's price tag could be a stumbling block.

    Cisse has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Premier League this summer and has previously admitted he would be keen on playing in England.

    Blackburn Rovers, Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur are all understood to have checked on Cisse, who is under contract until 2014.

    However, Freiburg's reported €15million (£13m) valuation of the 26-year-old has dissuaded clubs from following up with a firm bid.

    It is now understood that the Black Cats have joined their top-flight rivals in keeping tabs on Cisse as Steve Bruce weighs up whether to improve his attacking options.

    Bruce has been active in the transfer market this summer, with the number of deals completed into double figures and he is considering a further foray before the transfer window closes.

    The Black Cats currently only have Asamoah Gyan as an experienced frontman after losing Darren Bent and Danny Welbeck from their squad, and seeing Fraizer Campbell sidelined by a long-term injury.

    Promising duo Connor Wickham and Ji Dong-won arrived at the Stadium of Light over the summer, but Cisse would bring a proven pedigree.

    He is also wanted by Freiburg's Bundesliga rivals Wolfsburg, but his coach Markus Sorg expressed his hope last week that Cisse would still be at the club once the transfer deadline has passed.

    Don't know much about him, but, if SB is interested & Saint Niall says yes, then he can't be to bad!

    I know Wolfsburg are intrested in him but they need to sell Helmes to finance the deal

    Personally I would prefer us to sign Helmes

    Not seen much of him but have heard a lot of positive stuff about him. Off the back of that I'd be happy.

    My brother in law lives in Germany and he reckons he is really good. In a really unfashionable team, but still cracking the goals in. Big, strong, quick. I would be happy with him. However he is African so will be off for Africa Cup of Naitons come January.

    Never heard of him but if we do sign him he won't be good enough to get in newcastle's squad, that's for sure

    Very handy signing for those with the Djib's name on the back of their old shirts.
    What nationality is he?

    Surely he would show a bit more interest than Gyan !
