Everton boss Marco Silva has revealed that one of the first things he did after arriving on Merseyside was to hand the club a list of left-back targets he desired.
The Liverpool Echo reports that the Portuguese boss was intent on signing competition for Leighton Baines above all other positions.
Silva, formerly of Watford and Hull, discussed his targets with Director of Football Marcel Brands and other members of the board.
He initially wanted Celtic's Kieran Tierney, but was put off by the Scottish champions' valuation and walked away in the early stages of discussions.
