Everton, Leicester and Southampton are chasing the 22-goal hitman with a cheap release clause

Everton, Leicester City and Southampton are interested in signing Espanyol striker Martin Braithwaite in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The 33-year-old striker was in impeccable form last season, scoring 22 times in the second tier of Spanish football for Espanyol.

Valencia and Getafe have been keen on the striker and he is also attracting interest from Greek side PAOK Salonika.

Braithwaite’s goalscoring record in Spain last season has attracted the attention of Premier League clubs this summer.

According to the Spanish sports daily ASEverton, Leicester and Southampton have joined the race for the forward’s signature.

Espanyol’s failure to gain promotion to La Liga last season led to suggestions he could leave this summer.

The three Premier League clubs are considering making a move for him and taking him to England in the ongoing transfer window.

A deal for him would also be cheap as he has a €600,000 release clause in his contract with the Spanish second division side.

Braithwaite could represent a bargain for the three Premier League sides chasing him.
