Premier League clubs are on alert as Jermaine Jones prepares to leave Schalke this month.
The Daily Mail says Jones, out of contract in the summer, wants a move away from Gelsenkirchen quickly. Schalke are keen to make some money back on the midfielder they signed in 2007.
Aston Villa, West Brom, Sunderland, Norwich and Crystal Palace are all keeping tabs on the situation.
USA international Jones has had a previous spell in England with Blackburn Rovers.
