According to L’Equipe, Everton are interested in snapping up Memphis Depay from Lyon this summer.

Everton and Liverpool have both been linked with Depay, but it is the Toffees who are more interested.

Marco Silva’s side are keen to add a new number nine, and feel that Depay could fill the void in their side.

The Dutch international, who started up-front against England last night, scored 10 goals and created 10 assists for Lyon over the past campaign.

However, Everton are struggling to get a deal done as Depay is reportedly not keen on a move to Goodison Park.

The 25-year-old apparently feels that a switch to Everton is not prestigious enough for him.

Whether Liverpool would appeal more remains to be seen, but Depay could now stick with Lyon until a bigger offer comes in.

Everton may still push to sign Depay, but Silva’s men appear to have work to do to persuade him to move to Merseyside.

According to the Metro, Lyon would be willing to sell Depay for around £35 million.
