Everton are interested in securing the signature of Leicester City’s influential winger Riyad Mahrez this summer, alongside Chelsea and Arsenal, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
The Algerian winger has expressed his desire to leave the King Power Stadium this transfer window and is being monitored by a number of clubs.
Premier League champions Chelsea and Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for the winger but Everton have now also emerged as a potential destination for the unsettled player.
Manager Ronald Koeman is looking at potential replacements for midfielder Ross Barkley who could be on his way out of Goodison Park and it seems that Mahrez is the man he desires.
Leicester have rated the Algerian at £55 million but it is thought that they are willing to lower their price slightly. With Romelu Lukaku likely to move for a huge figure, Everton could use some of the money from that transfer to fund for the signature of Mahrez.
The Toffees will find it difficult to secure his services should French giants Paris Saint-Germain make a move for the player, as he is open to a move back to the French League.
The 26-year-old scored 12 times in all competitions for Leicester this season and registered five assists in what was somewhat of a disappointing season for the 2015/16 season’s PFA Player of the Year.
