According to 90min, Everton were joined by Leicester City, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and Wolves in having scouts in attendance for Union's 3-1 home win over Ajax in the second leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off on Thursday.
Khedira played the full 90 minutes as Union progressed in Europe before being beaten 3-0 at Bayern Munich in their top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash at Bayern Munich on Sunday.
The 29-year-old, who has featured in all but two of his team's matches this season and just missed out on a place in Germany's World Cup squad, is currently set to become a free agent when his contract runs out in the summer.
But Khedira has previously spoken about extending his stay in Berlin. Speaking to Kicker in January, he said: "There have already been discussions. With me and with my management. These dialogues were very appreciative and I have also often emphasized that I feel very comfortable in the association.
"I enjoy working with the environment and the people in the club. Of course, I can therefore imagine staying here. Union is definitely my first point of contact."
