Everton have been linked with a move for Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina this summer.
According to a report from French news outlet Foot Mercato, the Toffees are among a host of Premier League clubs to have expressed an interest in signing Lemina.
The Gabonese international signed for Southampton last summer in a deal rumoured to be worth £18 million from Juventus.
Lemina has enjoyed a positive maiden season in English football on an individual level but has struggled with a mix of inconsistency and niggling injuries throughout.
Southampton booked their place in the Premier League next season by staying up on the final day of the season on Sunday, meaning that they’ll surely be keen to keep hold of their prized assets.
Lemina signed a long-term deal at St Mary’s upon his arrival but has been linked with a move away for some while now, with clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Everton now named as potential destinations by French reports.
