Everton are hoping to hijack Arsenal and Liverpool's pursuit of Ajax midfielder Riechedly Bazoer.
As talkSPORT told you earlier this month, Ajax manager Peter Bosz has revealed that the youngster is set to be sold when the window opens next month.
It looked as though Arsenal were frontrunners to land the 20-year-old despite interest from Liverpool and Wolfsburg.
But now, according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Everton are hoping to gazump the Gunners with a swoop of their own.
The Merseyside club are on a miserable run of form of just one win in their past 11 games in all competitions and they are in danger of being sucked into a relegation battle.
