SkySports.com claim Everton are ´weighing up a move´ to bring James McFadden back to Goodison Park.
McFadden enjoyed five seasons at Everton before he left for Birmingham in January 2008 for a fee of £5 million, potentially rising to £6m depending on appearances.
The 28-year-old is available on a free transfer after seeing out his contract at St Andrews earlier this summer.
