Everton striker Ellis Simms is fielding major Championship interest.

The Sun says Simms is on the radar of Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Stoke City.

Simms' future at Everton is in doubt as he enters the final year of his deal.

A move away could be on as Championship clubs queue up for talks.

Promoted Ipswich Town are also ager to speak with the centre-forward.
