According to The Sun, Everton director of football Marcel Brands has eyes on AZ Alkmaar midfielder Teun Koopmeiners ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Eredivisie star is also wanted by Serie A giants AC Milan, but the guarantee of regular football could lure him to Goodison Park.
Alkmaar are willing to sell their 22-year-old captain for £12 million, and Everton won’t hesitate to meet their asking price.
Boss Carlo Ancelotti is looking to make his own midfield signings, with the futures of Morgan Schneiderlin and Gylfi Sigurdsson at the club in doubt.
