Everton boss David Moyes is in the market for a full-back this summer.
Ashley Young has already bid farewell to Everton after two years at the club, and whilst Seamus Coleman is staying on for another year, he isn’t getting any younger.
That makes a right-back a top priority and the club have identified multiple targets, with Tariq Lamptey linked to Finch Farm.
Kyle Walker-Peters is also on Moyes’ radar and is set to leave relegated Southampton on a free transfer next month.
Now, it’s just surfaced that Everton are considering Kyle Walker, and fans have a lot to say about that potential deal.

Everton fans are all saying the same thing about a Kyle Walker transfer
Everton fans have been reacting to the Walker link, and it’s fair to say they really don’t want him on Merseyside.
@strong231977 posted: “Absolutely no chance! His legs have gone, he’s on ridiculous wages and he’s 35!!”
“Hope this is fake news,” @HefinJones01 commented.
“I’d love us to have 1 link to a RB under the age of 30,” @HJColley92 explained.
@General_EFC added: “Everton transfer talking is turning to the antique roadshow. Players under 30 exist by the way.
“Biggest boycott of my damn life if there’s even ANY traction in this,” @AidenEdwards_97 said.
@tblick10 commented: “No thanks.”
Walker past his best
Walker, who celebrated his 35th birthday last month, has been declining over the last 12 months, and that was highlighted by his error-laden performance against Senegal recently.
Pep Guardiola has made the England international surplus to requirements at City, having left him out of the Club World Cup squad following a loan spell at AC Milan.
So, clearly, the Spaniard deems him past his best, and perhaps Everton should take a similar stance, with younger and better options out there.
The Toffees have shown an interest in Elias Jelert, who is a promising right-back for Galatasaray. That would be a much better addition.
