Leicester and Everton are reportedly interested in signing former West Brom midfielder Matheus Pereira.

The 26-year-old is keen to return to top-flight football after leaving the Baggies for Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal after the club were relegated to the Championship just over a year ago, and he's unlikely to be short of offers.

According to The Sun, both Brendan Rodgers and Frank Lampard are weighing up a move for Pereira with less than a week remaining until the transfer window closes.

The 26-year-old scored 11 goals in 33 appearances for the Baggies in the Premier League
