Everton have made fresh enquiries for Leeds United winger Willy Gnonto after Aston Villa moved for their other wing target Jaden Philogene of Hull City.
The Toffees were keen to sign Gnonto, 20, last summer and he handed in a transfer request as the season began following their relegation from the Premier League.
Leeds rejected their bid of around £25million last summer as they held out for £30m.
Gnonto's contract runs until 2027 and though he has not renewed, he did apologise after initially refusing to play for them in the Championship.
