Everton and Sunderland are leading the chase to land Nedum Onuoha, skysports.com reports. The Manchester City starlet and former England Under-21 skipper is in high demand, having shown his Premier League credentials with City - playing in nearly 100 games for the club.

Now the 23 year old, who is equally adept at right-back and centre-half, is being chased by a host of Premier League clubs.

However, it is understood that Everton and Sunderland are the two heading the chase.

Both David Moyes and Steve Bruce are understood to rate Onuoha very highly and both want his signature.
