Shinji Kagawa could reportedly return to the Premier League with Everton or West Ham United allegedly interested.

Everton and West Ham United are interested in signing Shinji Kagawa at the end of the season, as reported by Ahaber.

At the age of 30, you would be forgiven for thinking Kagawa’s time at the top level was over after he was farmed out to Besiktas on loan from Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window.

But the Japanese play-maker has shown that he is not done yet, scoring three times in just two league starts for the 2017 Super Lig champions.

Ahaber reports that Besiktas would love to sign Kagawa permanently with Dortmund demanding around £10.5 million.

It is also claimed that Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen will hand him another chance in the Bundesliga.

But, the report adds, Everton and West Ham are keen to bring Kagawa back to the Premier League, five years after his disappointing spell at Manchester United came to an end.

The two-time Bundesliga champion won England’s top flight during Sir Alex Ferguson’s final season in 2012/13 but quickly fell out of favour once David Moyes took over.

According to Vavel, Roberto Martinez wanted to sign Kagawa back in 2015. But will Everton get their man almost half a decade on?
