Leeds United and Everton are both interested in signing Tom Lawrence as the Derby County man prepares to move on for nothing this summer.
Lawrence is out of contract this summer and is set to leave Derby following their relegation to League One.
The Welsh international has been regular linked with an exit during Derby’s financial collapse but has remained loyal to the Rams.
Lawrence has been captain at Derby but is now ready to move on – and it could end up being a Premier League move for the former Manchester United talent.

The Daily Mail report that there is huge interest in Lawrence’s signature this summer.
Everton and Leeds United are understood to be interested in landing Lawrence on a free transfer.
Links to Everton maybe shouldn’t be a huge shock given that Lawrence’s former Derby boss Frank Lampard is in charge there.
Lampard called Lawrence a ‘top player’ back in 2019 and may now fancy reuniting with the attacker this summer.
Leeds also have one eye on Lawrence as they consider wide options just in case Raphinha ends up leaving Elland Road.
There is even more interest in Lawrence as Fulham, Burnley, Norwich City and Watford all want to sign Lawrence.
Bournemouth are keen too whilst even Belgian side Anderlecht are having a look.
Newcastle and Wolves were even linked with Lawrence earlier this year.
Lawrence seemingly won’t be short of suitors this summer and some clubs may have an advantage.
Watford and Norwich are heading back to the Championship whilst Fulham and Bournemouth are going up.
Leeds and Everton are both battling against relegated, as are Burnley.
That means the relegation fate of the interested clubs may end up playing a huge factor in where Lawrence ends up.
The 28-year-old hit 11 goals and five assists in 38 games this season and would surely be tempted if a Premier League offer arrives.
