According to reports from Spanish publication AS, Everton are extremely keen to secure the signature of Santiago Arias this summer.
The 53 timed capped Colombia international has dropped down the pecking order at Atletico Madrid, and he has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Arias joined Atletico from PSV in July 2018 for £10m and has made 51 appearances in all competitions. Last season, he managed just 14 appearances in La Liga.
The 28-year-old has become the third-choice right-back at Atletico with Kieran Trippier and Sime Vrsaljko are ahead of him in the pecking order.
