Everton and Aston Villa are chasing released West Ham midfielder Freddie Ljungberg.

The Sunday Mirror says Ljungberg could return to the Premier League after receiving offers to join Everton, Aston Villa and Blackburn.

The 31-year-old Swedish midfielder is reviewing his options in Los Angeles following his £6million pay-off from West Ham.

He was earning £85,000 a week at Upton Park and the Hammers opted to release him to ease their wage bill.
