Guinean defender Florentin Pogba, the elder brother of Paul Pogba, could be set for a move to the Premier League in the European summer.

According to several reports in the French media, Everton are keen on signing the 26-year-old from French club Saint-Etienne.

However, Bundesliga runners-up RP Leipzig - who already boast the services of Guinean superstar Naby Keita - are also said to be tracking Pogba’s availability.

The defender is set to be out of contract at his French club at the end of the 2017/18 season and did not feature regularly in their Ligue 1 campaign.

However, he did feature seven times in the Europa League before Saint-Etienne were eliminated from the competition by his brother’s club, Manchester United.
