SunSport revealed fellow Prem sides and Leeds are tracking Nyland, who is out of contract after leaving at the end of last season.

Veteran Nyland was outstanding in ‘s run to the last-eight where they lost to 2-1 in extra-time.

He started five out of the six games in Norway’s impressive World Cup campaign, keeping three clean sheets.

Nyland did not feature in the clash that saw Stale Solbakken make ten changes.

The shotstopper saved 70 per cent of the shots he faced during the tournament and has now won more than 60 caps for Norway.

The ex-Aston Villa and Norwich man produced a standout display in the knockout win over five-time world champions .

England No1 Jordan Pickford is the first-choice for boss David Moyes.

But back-up Mark Travers has been linked with a move away from the Hill Dickinson Stadium and that could free up space in the Toffees squad.

Enzo Maresca’s City have been looking around for keepers amid doubts over ‘s future.

Just home from the World Cup, Trafford, 23, has garnered attention from Premier League clubs, including Newcastle and Leeds.

The latter’s interest joined the race for the goalie after Karl Darlow joined Manchester United on a free transfer.
