Skysports.com understands three Premier League clubs have flown scouts over to Dublin to check on Serbia striker Nikola Zigic.

The giant front-man, 6ft 7in, will line-up against Republic of Ireland in Giovanni Trapattoni's first official game at the helm on Saturday, aware that he could be playing for a move to England.

Zigic has endured a difficult past campaign in Spain with Valencia, who are ready to reshape their squad in the summer, with news of his possible availability having alerted Bolton, Everton and Tottenham.

It is expected that all three will be represented at the game, with Zigic seen as being ideal for English football given his physical prowess.

A three-time Serbian player of the year, Zigic has in the past spoken of a desire to one day ply his trade in England.

And his dream could soon be realised should the former Red Star Belgrade and Racing Santander hit-man fit the criteria of those English clubs seeking a recognised goalscorer in the summer.
