Sunderland and Everton are chasing Reading midfielder Stephen Hunt.
The Guardian says Roy Keane, the Sunderland manager, has tracked the Reading winger for the past six months but it is understood that Everton are also monitoring the 26-year-old. David Moyes is eager to strengthen Everton's midfield and the industrious Hunt has emerged as a potential target this summer.
Reading are seeking at least £4.5 million for the Irishman.
