Everton are already drawing up a list of targets ahead of the summer transfer window, which opens at the start of June.
The Friedkin Group want to drive down the Everton squad’s average age, as they’re the third oldest in the Premier League.
As such, the focus will very much be on recruiting young players, with Sunderland teenager Chris Rigg strongly linked with a move to Goodison Park.
Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap is also on David Moyes’ radar after his breakout season in the Premier League.
And now, the latest transfer rumour sees Everton linked with a former Tottenham Hotspur player who’s now plying his trade in Turkey.
Everton eyeing former Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez
Everton will be very busy this summer, as a whopping 13 players are out of contract at the end of the season.
Indeed, not all will depart, with the likes of Idrissa Gana Gueye set to be offered a new contract, but Michael Keane is one who’s certain to end his Goodison Park stay, and it seems the club have identified a replacement.
According to Fanatik, the Merseysiders are keeping close tabs on Galatasaray centre-back Davinson Sanchez.

The former Tottenham Hotspur man is valued at around £17m and has made it no secret that he’d like to return to the Premier League, thus greenlighting Everton to make a move.
The Toffees were eyeing Sanchez last summer and there were reports that a £15m bid was lodged.
Sanchez doesn’t fit Everton’s new recruitment policy
Everton’s new recruitment policy suggests a move for Sanchez is unlikely, given he celebrates his 29th birthday in June.
The Columbia international would require a sizable investment and yet, he may only have a few years left in his prime.
So, it would be surprising if Moyes does sanction a move for Sanchez, who’s already been exposed in the Premier League with Spurs.
