Everton have reportedly joined Liverpool in the race to sign Wigan winger Charles N'Zogbia this summerThe £9million-rated France international has also been linked with a move to Sunderland, while former club Newcastle have also shown interest.
The 25-year-old last month hinted at a move to Merseyside after learning of Liverpool's interest.
But according to the Daily Mirror, a Red v Blue battle could develop after Everton showed interest in the midfielder.
Everton have a tight budget and will reportedly raise funds for N'Zogbia by selling defender Joseph Yobo and striker Yakubu.
Speaking about his future last week, N'Zogbia said of moving to a bigger club than the Latics: "It is true that over the last two years at Wigan, our goal has been to stay in the Premier League and it is tough and it has been a bit detrimental to me.

"It is a bit of a disadvantage to me, but I always give my best for whichever team I am with.
"I have one-year left on my contract, and after two-years I think the coach and the owner are satisfied with what I have produced.
"Now they know that I want to sign with a bigger club, with bigger goals who can play in Europe and also help me with France.
"I said to them that if I am still at Wigan then I would give them 200 per cent, as I am loyal to the club.
"But they have opted for a transfer and I hope it will happen under good conditions and that everyone will be happy."
