Everton defender Mason Holgate has been tipped to leave the club if Manchester City make a move in the upcoming transfer window.
City, who thrashed new Premier League champions Liverpool 4-0 on Thursday night, are to set about reshaping their squad at the season's end with a view to dethroning the new title holders and defence is an area being looked at by those at the Etihad Stadium.
There have been calls for the club to sign a new centre-back since the departure of former club captain Vincent Kompany last summer, with Aymeric Laporte seen as the only reliable option at the heart of the defence as the form of John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi continues to be questioned.
