Todibo back on Everton's radar

The 20-year-old emerged as a potential target for the Blues earlier this year when they came very close to signing Gabriel before the latter ended up at Arsenal.

Speculation on Todibo went quiet, especially when Everton shifted their attention to Fikayo Tomori but with interest in the Chelsea man waning as his place at Stamford Bridge looks more assured, Todibo is back under consideration.

Paul Joyce of The Times says the Frenchman is on Marcel Brands's shortlist but there are suggestions elsewhere that the fee being quoted by Barcelona is too high.

Ideally, Everton are looking at loan options and have also been linked with Jérà´me Onguene of Salzburg by Telefoot.

Update Further reporting in The Independent claims that the sticking point with Barça over Todibo is that the Catalan club want the guarantee of a purchase at the end of the loan at a fee of around €18m which Everton aren't currently keen on agreeing to.
