Everton are yet to get up and running in the January transfer market just yet, but they are looking to make stuff happen.

David Moyes’ need for new faces on Merseyside was made even clearer on Wednesday night in their defeat to Aston Villa.

It was a frustrating evening for Everton who saw Dominic Calvert-Lewin squander a golden opportunity to equalise late on.

The Friedkin Group are keen to sign a forward for Everton before the window shuts for the month.

However, it seems they could also be set to add to their defensive options with one specific target from the Championship.

Everton interested in Coventry City defender Milan van Ewijk

Moyes has a new full-back on his Everton radar this month with the options at left-back limited.

But it is a new right-back which is being eyed by the Blues.

According to ESPN, Everton are one of the sides who are showing a real interest in the Coventry City full-back Milan van Ewijk.

It is not just Everton showing interest in Van Ewijk from the Premier League with Fulham also on the scene.

This comes with Everton closing in on a deal for Ernest Nuamah from Lyon to bolster their attacking options.

Adding a new right-winger and right-back would certainly shake things up and Goodison Park for Moyes ahead of the remaining months of the term.

Who is Milan van Ewijk?

The 24-year-old signed for Coventry back in 2023 from Dutch outfit Heerenveen having played his career strictly in the Netherlands.

A Heerenveen ambassador told Coventry Telegraph that Van Ewijk was ‘very quick’ ahead of his move to England in 2023.

Since joining the Sky Blues, the right-back has become a regular in their starting XI as he continues to impress in the second-tier.

Seamus Coleman has already admitted he may leave Everton at the end of the term which would certainly prove a real blow to the club.

Considering Ashley Young is also out of contract at the end of the season, a new right-back could prove a smart buy for Everton.
