Everton looking to reach agreement for the transfer of Jean-Clair Todibo

Everton are keen on bringing Jean-Clair Todibo to Merseyside this summer.

The young defender is expected to leave Barcelona permanently and Carlo Ancelotti has identified him as a target.

The Toffees need to strengthen at the back and Todibo could prove to be a quality long-term addition.

The 20-year-old is on loan at Schalke this season and he has managed to impress in the Bundesliga. With experience and coaching, he could develop into a key starter for Everton.

The likes of Mina are quite injury prone and Ancelotti needs to bring in a centre back to add more depth to his defensive unit.
