Southend United goalkeeper Dan Bentley on Everton's radar?

Everton could reportedly make a summer move for Southend United goalkeeper Dan Bentley.

The Toffees are expected to be in the market for a new custodian after veteran stopper Tim Howard announced that he is to return to his native USA at the end of the season.

Recent speculation has claimed that both Jasper Cillessen and Tom Heaton are under consideration to replace the departing Howard.

However, The Sun has now added 22-year-old Bentley's name to the Goodison Park shortlist.

The report adds that Bentley, who is out of contract in July, has also been tracked by Bournemouth, Norwich City, Watford and West Bromwich Albion.
