Everton, Newcastle and Huddersfield are among the clubs in pursuit of Kosovo international Donis Avdijaj.

Schalke are prepared to sell Avdijaj this summer for a fee of £2.5million.

As a teenager, the attacking midfielder was tipped as the next starlet from the club's academy.

He had been expected to follow Mesut Ozil, Julian Draxler and Max Meyer into the first team, with Premier League clubs including Liverpool tracking his progress.

But he has only one year left on his contract, having been on loan since January at Roda in Holland, where he scored three in 11 appearances.

Avdijaj was born in Osnabruck and played for Germany at various levels until the Under 19s before opting to represent Kosovo in international football.

He has failed to make his mark at Schalke despite the promises of his youth career and an 18-month loan with Sturm Graz in Austria.

The Bundesliga club are ready to cash-in before his contract expires.
