Graziano Pelle's agent reveals Premier League interest

Everton and Stoke City both want to sign Southampton striker Graziano Pelle this summer, according to the Italian international's agent Romualdo Corvino.

Pelle, 30, joined Southampton from Feyenoord in 2014 and has scored 30 times in 81 appearances for the English club.

The forward only has one year remaining on his contract, however, and it is understood that the Saints would be prepared to sell the Italian for as little as £5m in this summer's transfer window.

"There has been contact with Everton, Stoke City and China," The Sun quotes Corvino as telling reporters.

Pelle could be joined at Everton by current Southampton boss Ronald Koeman, who is said to be closing in on a move to the Merseyside club.
