Everton are keen to sign Memphis Depay from Manchester United.
Everton could match Memphis Depay’s wages in order to tempt him away from Manchester United, report The Times.
The Toffees are interested in signing the winger from the Red Devils, with interest heightening after his international brace against Luxembourg.

Depay, 22, was one of Manchester United’s marquee summer signings in 2015, but fell out of favour under Louis van Gaal, and his chances have been even more limited since Jose Mourinho took over.
The Times report Everton owner Farhad Mohsiri would consider matching Depay’s £5.2 million annual salary in order to attract the winger to the club.

The wages could have been a sticking point in previous years, but Everton’s new financial wealth gives them greater pulling power.
The report also states that Depay’s preference is to remain in the North West of England, which an Everton switch would enable him to do, while playing under compatriot Ronald Koeman is also an attraction.
