Everton have registered and interest in signing Germany and Hertha Berlin left back Marvin Plattenhardt, according to reports.
Following an underwhelming Premier League season, seeing them finish eighth in the table and miss out on Europa League football to Burnley, Everton are looking to readdress the balance of their squad, starting with signing a new left back.
The Toffees are in need to a top class left back to succeed the ageing Leighton Baines, with only Cuco Martina and Luke Garbutt currently in place to succeed the 33-year-old defender as he enters his 11th season with the club.
