Everton are hoping to sign the Nice midfielder Jean Michael Seri in January.
The 26-year-old midfielder was linked with a move to Barcelona in the summer but the move collapsed eventually. The two clubs had agreed on a fee for the Ivorian but Barcelona decided against signing the player in the end.
According to Sky Sports, Everton are interested in the player and Seri wants to move to the Premier League as well. However, the player wants to join a club with Champions League football.
The Toffees are expected to lose Ross Barkley to Chelsea in January and Seri would be a terrific replacement.
