Newcastle United defender Jamaal Lascelles is said to be on Everton’s wishlist this summer.

Jamaal Lascelles’ arrival at Everton would make their defence look much stronger next season.

The Newcastle United defender is said to be on Sam Allardyce’s wishlist by the Daily Mirror, with Everton preparing a £25 million bid for the centre-back.

If Everton could snap up Lascelles, then his potential partnership with Michael Keane is one which is worth being excited about.

Lascelles has been a rock for Newcastle this term, with his leadership skills coming to the fore.

The 24-year-old has been one of the key reasons why Newcastle have been able to stay in the top flight, and if brought it at Everton he would solidify their backline.

The Toffees have struggled to keep opposition sides out this term, with question marks lingering over most their centre-backs.

But Lascelles and Keane could have a partnership which would be beneficial for both club and country.

The pair are both on the verge of the England squad, and if they teamed up at Everton, their partnership could be the one which the Toffees could build the foundation of their team around for the years ahead.
