Everton now are keen on Kieran Trippier amid suggestions that he wants a return to the Premier League, the Athletic report.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is on the hunt for additions to make his Toffees squad stronger for next term.
Everton looked to be in with an outside shout of making the Champions League spots this term in the early part of the season, but they failed to keep pace with the top four.
As a result Everton are expected to dip into the market and Trippier is said to be an option.
The England international, who Gareth Southgate once labelled as ‘outstanding’ (TalkSPORT), has apparently emerged on their radar.
Interestingly Trippier wants a move to England this summer, which means that a switch to Goodison Park would appeal.
Trippier doesn’t seem like the most natural fit at Everton, in some ways.
The Toffees are likely to be on the hunt for a long-term replacement for the 33-year-old Seamus Coleman, but Trippier is only two years his junior.
In the short term he could inject quality into their side though, and with Trippier and Lucas Digne’s quality from wide-areas, Dominic Calvert-Lewin could surely thrive.
