Everton boss Ronald Koeman is keen to add quality to his starting line-up at Goodison Park.

According to a report in Calcio Mercato, Everton are interested in Juventus duo Mario Lemina and Neto.

Everton are known to be on the look out for new additions, and the pair have both come on to Ronald Koeman’s radar.

Everton met with Juve officials yesterday to discuss the possibility of signing Lemina and Neto, and they are both reportedly available.

Lemina is already in discussions over a move to Valencia, but Everton are hoping to swoop.

The Gabon international has impressed the Toffees with his energy, and although he is not a regular at Juve, Koeman feels he would increase his midfield options.

The potential addition of Neto is an intriguing one, but it seems likely that the Brazilian goalkeeper would only sign as back-up at Goodison Park.

Everton are working on sealing a deal for Sunderland’s Jordan Pickford, who will become Koeman’s number one next season.

And the Toffees may be aiming to sign Neto to give Pickford some competition for his place.
