Everton eyeing up a move for Lazio defender Wesley Hoedt

Everton are looking to add to their defensive options this summer and the Toffees have identified Lazio’s Wesley Hoedt as an ideal option.

The Merseyside outfit have recently signed Michael Keane from Burnley but the injury to Ramiro Funes Mori has forced Koeman to look for another defensive option now. The Argentine defender is expected to miss more than half of next season.

Hoedt has been a key player for Lazio and he would certainly be a very good alternative to Funes Mori. As per Liverpool Echo, the left sided defender is valued at £12m and the fee should not be a problem for Everton.
