It’s understood that Everton are keen on signing John Stones, with the Manchester City star set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
The Toffees are also exploring a deal to sign Wilson Isidor from Sunderland, as David Moyes wants to sign a centre-forward.

Everton may lose out on Wesley Franca to Liverpool
Everton were heavily linked with a move to sign Wesley Franca last summer, but the Friedkin Group signed him for AS Roma.
According to TEAMtalk, the Toffees remain interested in Wesley and the Friedkins are reportedly open to him making the switch from Roma.
However, it’s understood that the Brazil international will be ‘extremely difficult’ to persuade to join a club who are not in Europe.
What would you do with Idrissa Gana Gueye this summer? 😬
He's got a one-year extension clause in his deal…
Moyes’ side drew away at Crystal Palace at the weekend, which all but confirmed that they will miss out on a top-seven finish.
The report claims that Liverpool could now hijack the deal as they appreciate Wesley’s ‘profile and versatility’.
The 22-year-old wants to join a club playing in a major European competition, so the Reds will be an attractive destination for him.
Arsenal and Newcastle United are also showing an interest in landing his signature, with a £40m fee mooted.
