Ze Maria interest in England

Several press reports are reporting that Ze Maria is travelling to England to discuss terms with several Premiership sides. Reading, Newcastle, Derby and Fulham are all ready to talk to the Brazilian.

Levante only released the player this summer, unhappy with his progress since Inter released the player in 2006.

The 34 year old brings a wealth of experience with him having played for the Brazilian national side 43 times. Sam Allardyce is known to be keen to add to his defence and Derby have had a very bad defensive start to the year.
