Everton are reportedly keeping an eye on Toulouse centre-back Issa Diop.
It’s claimed by L’Equipe, as translated by Sport Witness, that the Toffees have been keeping tabs on the defender in recent months.
Diop has emerged as one of Ligue 1’s brightest talents, establishing himself as a key man for Toulouse. His consistency and impressive performances have attracted several clubs ahead of next season and Everton are seemingly keen.
The 21-year-old’s form also earned him the role as Toulouse’s captain; an impressive feat for a player of such tender age.
Everton will be desperate to bolster their defensive ranks this summer after a season of suspect performances throughout last season. Diop would undoubtedly add additional quality to the defence, so it comes as no surprise to see the Toffees linked with a move.
However, they may be forced to fend off competition from elsewhere. It’s stated in the report that Crystal Palace are also attentive to Diop’s situation at Toulouse.
