Meunier is being linked with a move to Everton this month.

Everton have reportedly requested that if Idrissa Gueye is to join Paris Saint-Germain before the end of the window, they want Thomas Meunier included in a deal – and his previous comments on Everton will encourage fans.

French outlet Telefoot report that Everton are interested in landing 27-year-old defender Meunier, and there is a possibility that the Belgium international could be included in any deal if Gueye does indeed.

The French champions have been interested in Gueye for the entire month, with Sky Sports reporting on Monday that Everton had rejected a £21.5million bid from Thomas Tuchel’s side for Gueye.

Telefoot reckon if Everton are to sell Gueye, they want Meunier included in the deal and the Belgian’s previous comments on The Toffees would suggest that the right-back could be interested in a move to Goodison Park.

Speaking to Belgian outlet RTBF in April 2018, Meunier said: “I could aim for a club like Everton.”

Doubts have begun to arise over the quality of performances from Seamus Coleman, while Jonjoe Kenny has only managed eight appearances in all competitions under Marco Silva.

Meunier would certainly be high calibre signing given that he has won Ligue 1 last season and is on course to win it again, while PSG remain in the Champions League. Able to play in midfield too, Meunier has been in excellent form.

The former Club Brugge ace has scored four goals and created five more in 20 league and cup appearances. He has a contract at PSG until the summer of 2020.
