Trio of Prem clubs, Dubai sides keen on Livorno's Paulinho

Livorno striker Paulinho is the subject of interest from three Premier League teams according to the Italian club's president Aldo Spinelli.

The 28-year old Brazilian is preparing to leave Livorno after they were relegated from Serie A last season and there is plenty of attention with West Ham United, Stoke City and Southampton joining Verona and two teams in the UAE in pursuit of his services.

"Not only Verona are looking at the player. West Ham, Stoke City and Southampton are tracking him in the Premier League, while in Dubai two clubs are interested," Spinelli told Tuttomercatoweb.

"As far as we are concerned, one club is as good as another. It's up to him now, so he will decide the destination then we will reach an agreement on the economic aspects.

"Paulinho will return to Italy tomorrow, then he'll decide on his future. In January, our assessment was 10 million euros, now the fee has decreased."
