# Everton willing to move for Lindelof or Smalling

Everton have told Manchester United that they would be willing to sign Chris Smalling or Victor Lindelof.

[According to TeamTalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-everton-target-man-utd-duo-if-rojo-deal-falls-through), Everton are prepared to move for one of the pair if they are unable to seal a deal for Marcos Rojo.

The report claims that Everton are looking at other options in the event that Rojo rejects a move to Goodison Park.

Reports last month claimed that Everton had agreed a deal for Rojo, although his wages demands were above what the club were willing to pay.

Manchester United are eager to offload a central defender before the end of the transfer window, with Jose Mourinho on the brink of securing the signing of Toby Alderweireld from Tottenham for £60m.

Lindelof, Smalling and Rojo are all in the firing line, as club’s circle around the trio.

TeamTalk claim that Lindelof would be available as a loan option, whilst Smalling could join on a permanent basis.
