Everton keen on Atletico Madrid’s Santiago Arias

Everton have been linked with a move for Santiago Arias.

As per the Liverpool Echo, the Merseyside outfit want to sign the Atletico Madrid right-back this summer.

Marco Silva’s side are in desperate need of a full back and the Colombian could be ideal.

Seamus Coleman is past his peak and he needs replacing. Arias has proven his quality with his country and despite his poor spell with Atletico, he would a gamble worth taking.

The 27-year-old joined Diego Simeone’s side for a fee of around £11m last summer but he has failed to hold down a regular starting berth for them.
