Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles would be a fantastic signing for Everton

According to a recent report from The Mirror, Everton are eyeing up a summer move for Newcastle United skipper Jamaal Lascelles.

The report claims that the Toffees are ready to spend around £25 million to sign the 24-year-old defender. They are willing to pay a similar figure to what they paid Burnley to sign Michael Keane last summer.

The Evening Standard reported back in February that Premier League giants Chelsea are looking to add more English players to their squad, and they consider Lascelles as a potential option.

Lascelles has impressed for the Magpies this season, and he has been one of the outstanding performers for the club.
