Everton FC are one of five clubs competing for out-of-contract Bafetimbi Gomis according to Football Direct News.

Premier League clubs are circling around the 28-year-old after his contract at French club Lyon expired.

Gomis has scored over 100 goals in Ligue 1 in spells with St. Etienne and Lyon. He has also scored three goals in 12 international games for France.

The likes of Newcastle United, West Ham, Swansea and Sunderland are thought to be the other clubs ready to make an offer for Gomis.

Romelu Lukaku has been offered to both Paris Saint Germain and Juventus as Chelsea look to recoup the £20m they paid Anderlecht for the Belgian in 2011 says Football Direct News.

Lukaku bagged 16 goals for Everton and the Blues had hoped to tie him down to a permanent deal but the French and Italian giants are now circling.

The 21-year-old shares an agent with Zlatan Imbrahimovic and he is set to use his connections to offer him to the PSG.

Everton could offer competition to Sunderland for the signature of Argentinian midfielder Ever Banega, according to the Chronicle.

Sunderland are hoping to seal a deal for the Valencia playmaker having been interested in him in January but Roberto Martinez could also make a move for the 25-year-old.

Gus Poyet will send scouts to check on Banega during the World Cup in Brazil and the player's agent, Jonathan Hope, confirmed three Premier League clubs are interested in his client.

“We have had a lot of interest in the Argentine international,” said Hope.

“I confirm that I am speaking personally with three clubs who have expressed their intention to sign the player.

“He is a class player and he is only 25 years old.”
