Everton are in pole position to sign Nigerian international, Wilfred Ndidi who is available for signing on a free transfer.
The 27-year-old will become a free agent at the end of this month having failed to agree a new contract with the newly promoted Leicester City.
Everton, Monaco, Olympic Lyon and Olympic Marseille are among the clubs vying for his signature.
