Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia is interesting Stoke City

The Mirror says Stoke and Everton are prominent in a possible summer chase for Kodjia.

And that's why it says Villa boss Steve Bruce is keen to tie him down for a longer-term deal ahead of next season's planned push for promotion.

The 27 year-old Ivory Coast international has been hitting the headlines with Villa in the Championship after grabbing 19 goals in 33 appearances since joining the club from Bristol City last summer.
