Everton join Christian Luyindama race?

Everton have reportedly identified Galatasaray defender Christian Luyindama as a potential transfer target.

Having emerged as a key man at the Turkish giants, a number of Premier League clubs have been linked with an approach for the 26-year-old.

Although Aston Villa are regarded as the favourites for the centre-back's signature, Wolverhampton Wanderers are also said to be in the running.

However, according to Voetbalkrant, Everton are ready to provide competition to the West Midlands outfits over the coming months.

Toffees boss Carlo Ancelotti is keen to bring in a new central defender during the next window, and Luyindama will arguably be seen as value for money.

While Galatasaray would prefer to keep the player, they may be prepared to accept bids in the region of £11m.
