Everton are reportedly keen to strengthen their defensive options for next season.
According to the Daily Mail, Everton are looking at snapping up three new defenders in the summer transfer window.
The Toffees are set to invest heavily in their first-team squad at the next opportunity, as Ronald Koeman looks to take Everton to the next level.
And it seems that Koeman’s transfer focus is on strengthening his side’s defence.
Everton have been left short of options at the back this term, following season-ending injuries to both Seamus Coleman and Ramiro Funes Mori recently.
Koeman is keen for that situation not to arise again, and is desperate to add quality to his backline.
Everton want to sign Burnley’s Michael Keane, Hull City’s Harry Maguire and another defender to ensure their defence is packed with talent.
The Toffees already have the sixth best defensive record of any team in Europe in 2017 – having conceded just seven goals in the 10 matches that they have played this season.
