Everton and Premier League rivals send scouts to watch brother of World Cup and Champions League winner

Everton are one of a number of Premier League clubs linked with making a move for Union Berlin midfielder Rani Khedira in the summer.

The younger brother of World Cup and Champions League winner Sami has hugely impressed for the Berlin side, who are currently three points off the top in Germany.

Khedira's performances in the Bundesliga have not gone unnoticed and now top-flight English teams are said to be circling with the summer transfer window approaching.

According to 90min, Everton were joined by Leicester City, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Wolves in having scouts in attendance for Union's 3-1 home win over Ajax in the second leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off on Thursday.

Khedira played the full 90 minutes as Union progressed in Europe before being beaten 3-0 at Bayern Munich in their top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash at Bayern Munich on Sunday.

The 29-year-old, who has featured in all but two of his team's matches this season and just missed out on a place in Germany's World Cup squad, is currently set to become a free agent when his contract runs out in the summer.

But Khedira has previously spoken about extending his stay in Berlin. Speaking to Kicker in January, he said: "There have already been discussions. With me and with my management. These dialogues were very appreciative and I have also often emphasized that I feel very comfortable in the association.

"I enjoy working with the environment and the people in the club. Of course, I can therefore imagine staying here. Union is definitely my first point of contact."
