According to reports from Colombian broadcaster Antena2, Everton are showing keen interest in signing Atletico Madrid defender Santiago Arias in the summer transfer window.
The Toffees could face strong competition from Inter Milan this summer.
The 28-year-old joined Atletico Madrid in 2018 from PSV Eindhoven. Arias, who was signed by Everton director Marcel Brands in the summer of 2013 for PSV Eindhoven, won three Dutch league titles in five seasons.
Atletico signed him for a reported transfer fee of £11 million, but it has hardly been a success in Spain.
