Livorno's Brazilian striker Paulinho has welcomed interest from England.
Stoke City and Southampton have been linked with the 28 year-old, who is up for sale following Livorno's relegation from Serie A.
"Paulinho has expressed a desire to go to play in England and we are evaluating some opportunities," said agent Andrea Bagnoli.
"We are at the beginning of the market and it is still early to say where he will play."
