Everton identify Howard replacement

Everton are looking at Dutch international goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen as a possible replacement for the outgoing Tim Howard, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Howard recently agreed a deal to leave Everton at the end of the season to sign for MLS side Colorado Rapids and his pending departure has kickstarted the hunted for a new shot-stopper.

Cillessen is currently playing for Dutch giants Ajax, and the report indicates that it would require a fee in the region of £10m to tempt him away from the Netherlands.

Cillessen is not the only player Everton are looking at. Tom Heaton of Burnley could also be a target, with Premier League football being an offer that Heaton may find too good to turn down.

Heaton has been called up to multiple England squads after his impressive season in the Premier League with Burnley last campaign led Roy Hodgson to make him his third-choice keeper while Fraser Forster recovered from injury.
