Everton and Sunderland are preparing bids for Bolton Wanderers midfielder Chung-yung Lee, according to Sky Sports.
The South Korea wideman was back in form last season after missing Wanderers’ relegation season due to a bad leg brake.
Stoke City were in talks with Bolton in January over the signing of the 24 year old but nothing could be agreed.
New Everton boss Roberto Martinez is keen to form his own squad on Merseyside and is hoping to make Lee his first major signing of the summer.
Sunderland manager Paolo Di Canio has been busy shaping his own squad in the North East and wants to add at least two more players to that new look side, including Lee.
Wanderers are desperate to hold on to their best players after narrowly missing out on the play offs on the final day of last season.
Lee may force through a deal to the Premier League if the expected concrete offers come in.
