Everton are poised to make Southampton's Cuco Martina their first signing of the summer.
Manager Ronald Koeman is keen to bring in cover for injured right-back Seamus Coleman and can sign 27-year-old Curacao international Martina on a free transfer.
With Everton also competing in the UEFA Europa League next season, Koeman is all-too-aware of the extra fixture pressure and wants reinforcements in all positions.
Martina started 15 matches in all competitions for the Saints last season, but hasn't featured for Claude Puel's men since the 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal in the FA Cup fourth round on January 28.
