Sky sources understand that Burnley and Hull are among the favourites to sign Reading midfielder Oliver Norwood this summer.
The newly promoted Premier League clubs are also facing competition from Brendan Rodgers' Celtic.
In addition, Bournemouth and Swansea are believed to have shown interest in the former Manchester United youth player.
We understand Reading have not yet received any firm offers, while Norwood is unlikely to consider his club future until after Euro 2016.
The Northern Ireland midfielder was a key member of Michael O'Neill's side as they qualified for their first ever European Championships. He played more minutes than any NI player in qualifying as they topped their group.
Norwood, who created over 100 chances in the Championship last season, has played in each of Northern Ireland's current 11-match unbeaten run.
