Everton and West Ham United are reportedly both interested in signing Victor Lindelof on a free transfer this summer.
The Sweden international is entering the latter stages of his contract at Manchester United, and with a new deal not on the horizon, the experienced centre-back is set to become available on a free transfer at the end of June.
According to TBR Football, Everton and West Ham are both keeping a close eye on the situation, with the defender potentially being offered the chance to continue in the Premier League for at least one more season.
The report claims that clubs from Germany and Italy have also held conversations with Lindelof's camp, with the Swede unlikely to be short of offers this summer despite his difficulties at Old Trafford.
Brighton & Hove Albion, Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers are also believed to be eyeing a move at the end of the campaign, while his former club Benfica have been credited with an interest.

Everton, West Ham 'keen on Lindelof move'
Lindelof hinted on international duty last month that he would be keen to remain in the Premier League this summer even if he has to leave the 20-time English champions.
"I'm very comfortable in United. I've been there for a long time and it's the world's best league. I'll have to talk to everyone involved going forward," the experienced defender told reporters.
Lindelof made the move to Old Trafford from Benfica in the summer of 2017, and he has represented Man United on 273 occasions in all competitions, including 186 outings in the Premier League.
This season, the defender has made 14 appearances for the Red Devils, including outings in three of Man United's last four Premier League matches, but he was back on the bench against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.

Will any other centre-backs leave Man United this summer?
Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro are viewed as important players moving forward, while Ayden Heaven has made a huge impression in the early stages of his Man United career.
Jonny Evans is also out of contract at the end of June, though, and he is set to depart, and there has also been fresh speculation surrounding the future of Harry Maguire.
Man United would allegedly be willing to let Maguire leave at the end of the season if a suitable offer arrived, with the club potentially bringing in another centre-back to boost their current crop.
Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite and Sporting Lisbon's Goncalo Inacio are believed to be among those admired by the 20-time English champions, who will be back in Premier League action this weekend against Manchester City.
