Everton should consider switching their attention to Chelsea defender Gary Cahill amid reports he is set for talks over his future.
Everton could still do with an extra centre-back reinforcement in this summer transfer window and ripping up plans for reported target Yerry Mina to look elsewhere could be a good thing to consider now.
The Toffees are hoping to sign Barcelona defender Mina after the 23-year-old’s impressive World Cup displays with Colombia this summer, according to the Liverpool Echo last week.
However, Tuttomercatoweb report that Boca Juniors have submitted a bid of £7.1million for Mina, which includes a significant cut of a future sale.
The Merseyside club could avoid taking a risk on the Colombian this summer by switching attention to someone who is proven in the Premier League and could make an instant impact at Goodison Park.
Chelsea captain Gary Cahill is debating an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer and is set to hold talks with manger Maurizio Sarri when he returns from his holiday, according to the London Evening Standard.
The 32-year-old could be under more pressure for a starting spot if Chelsea land Juventus’ Daniele Rugani on a £44.2million deal and this is why Everton should offer him an escape route.
Marco Silva couldn’t go wrong if he decided to add Cahill to his squad and the England international would arrive with a wealth of experience.
The centre back has an impressive CV that includes two Premier League titles and a Champions League success, which is why some of the criticism he’s received at Stamford Bridge by supporters lately has been slightly harsh.
He is good enough to make a positive impact for Everton and is better than their current options of Phil Jagielka, Ashley Williams, Mason Holgate and Michael Keane.
