Everton and Crystal Palace are interested in signing the Aston Villa midfielder Marvelous Nakamba this summer.
The 27-year-old has been a quality player for the West Midlands club since joining them.
According to Daily Mail, Villa are reluctant to lose the player this summer but the Toffees are prepared to test their resolve by submitting a bid before the transfer window shuts.
The Zimbabwe midfielder produced impressive performances against top teams like Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea last season and it is no surprise that other Premier League clubs are keen on signing him.
