Stoke City and Hull City are battling to secure the services for former Everton and West Bromwich Albion forward Victor Anichebe, according to the Mail Online.
The Nigeria international is a free agent after leaving the Hawthorns at the end of last season, having spent three seasons with the Midlands outfit.
He made a total of sixty-one appearances for the Baggies, scoring nine times while he played one hundred and sixty-eight times for Everton, netting on twenty-six occasions.
He has been capped eleven times for the Super Eagles with his one and only international goal so far coming in a friendly against Kenya in March 2011.
He also took part in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, scoring in a 2-1 win over Japan.

Teenager Elliot Anderson has signed a new long-term contract at Newcastle United after breaking into the first team under Eddie Howe.
The 19-year-old – who has represented both England and Scotland at youth level – made his Premier League debut in January 2021 as a substitute against Arsenal.
The second half of last season then saw Anderson go on loan to Bristol Rovers, helping them secure promotion to League One as he contributed seven goals and six assists in 21 league appearances.
This term, Anderson has been used as an impact substitute by Howe, and his absence through injury was felt in Newcastle s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday.
Speaking after committing his future to the Magpies, Anderson said: I m really happy. I love playing for N…
Erik ten Hag decided not to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo in Manchester United s 6-3 derby thrashing by Manchester City as a mark of respect towards the forward.
Ronaldo was an unused substitute as hat-tricks from Erling Haaland and Phil Foden handed City a dominant derby win on Sunday, despite Ten Hag using all five of his permitted changes.
Anthony Martial scored twice after his second-half introduction to salvage a touch of pride for United, while Victor Lindelof, Fred, Casemiro and Luke Shaw also appeared from the bench.
Having failed in an apparent bid to leave Old Trafford in the recent transfer window, Ronaldo has been a peripheral figure under Ten Hag, making one Premier League start this season – in a 4-0 defeat to Brentford.

The midfielder joined the Eagles in the summer of 2017, having spent his entire career up to that point at Ajax. Since then, he has gone on to make a total of 56 appearances in all competitions for the Premier League club, scoring twice. His preferred position is directly ahead of the back line, but he can also do well further up or on the right flank. His place in the starting XI under Roy Hodgson is still far from nailed on, given that he has started…
West Ham United are interested in signing Ben Brereton Diaz from Blackburn Rovers in the January transfer window, according to . The report has claimed that the Hammers have been scouting the Chile international striker this season, and that the Premier League club could make a move for him when the transfer window opens in January.
Brereton Diaz is out of contract at Blackburn at the end of the season. The striker has reportedly told Rovers that he is not going to put pen to paper on a new deal, so the Championship club are now facing the prospect of losing the 23-year-old on a free next summer. Rovers could now be willing to sell Brereton Diaz for £10 million in the January transfer window.
The striker has scored nine goals and provided one assist in 20 Championship …
Liverpool did not exactly take long to underline their Premier League title credentials for 2019-20.
Kicking off the season at Anfield on Friday, Jurgen Klopp s side finished the first half with a 4-0 lead over Norwich City, playing their first game back in the top flight since winning last season s Championship.
An own goal from Grant Hanley, a Mohamed Salah strike and a header apiece from Virgil van Dijk and Divock Origi put the European champions in a commanding position inside the opening 45 minutes of a game they won 4-1.
Remarkably, Norwich had more shots in the first half than the Reds (seven, compared to six) and could easily have kept the scores closer had Marco Stiepermann been more clinical.
As it was, Liverpool finished the first half of a Pre…
Sheyi Ojo said Rangers set out to beat Feyenoord for Fernando Ricksen and dedicated his winning goal to the club s former captain.
Liverpool loanee Ojo scored with a scorching effort after 23 minutes of Rangers Europa League Group G opener at Ibrox to calm his side s nerves after James Tavernier missed a penalty.
Rangers withstood a spell of late Feyenoord pressure to emerge with a 1-0 victory that Ojo said was fuelled by self-belief and a determination to honour the memory of Ricksen, who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2013 and died on Wednesday.
It was a nice goal but the most important thing was to get the win today and we ve done that, Ojo told BT Sport.
We believe in ourselves and know what we re capable of. It s about putting on a g…

On Saturday afternoon, Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to get his Spurs side back to winning ways. This week Tottenham will be playing host to a managerless West Brom side who are rapidly falling down the table.
Tottenham
After leaving the Emirates empty-handed last weekend, Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to get his Spurs side back on track. Their 2-0 loss away at their North London rivals have seen Spurs drop down to fourth and are now chasing an 11 point deficit on runaway league leaders Manchester City.
Although their lackluster performance against Arsenal had people questioning Tottenham s mentality against the top six teams, Tottenham s midweek heroics in the Champions Lea…
Mauricio Pochettino insists he will not be cheering on Arsenal when Tottenham s bitter rivals travel to Manchester City on Sunday.
Son Heung-min s late winner against Newcastle United lifted Spurs above reigning champions City and into second place in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola s men will regain that position if they are able to beat the Gunners at the Etihad Stadium and close to within two points of leaders Liverpool, who are four better off than Spurs ahead of facing West Ham on Monday.
Asked after the 1-0 triumph over Newcastle whether he would watch City v Arsenal unfold, Pochettino replied: Yes, at home.
Pushed to clarify whether he might be shouting for Tottenham s north London neighbours, the Argentine coach was in playful mood.

Argentina midfielder Ever Banega has completed a transfer back to Sevilla from Inter.
The LaLiga club announced last month that an agreement in principle had been reached that would see the midfielder move back to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on a three-year deal.
Inter have now ratified the deal, which will reportedly see them earn €9million.
Banega moved to San Siro as a free agent in 2016 but struggled to settle in Serie A, making just 22 starts in all competitions for the club.
The 29-year-old, who won back-to-back Europa League titles with Sevilla in 2014-15 and 2015-16, had reportedly been a target for former head coach Unai Emery at Paris Saint-Germain.
