Everton will make no secret of their desire to sign a new defender this summer.
Ever since the arrival of David Moyes, Everton have certainly been on an upward trend, though that will only continue if the right decisions are made this summer.
The Toffees need to back the Scotsman in the transfer market, with several areas of the squad needing attention on a recruitment front.
With that said, Everton may now have an open goal to seal a new defensive transfer after news from France surfaced.

Moyes must reignite Everton transfer interest after latest update
Perhaps more than anything, the addition of a new striker will be among the list of priorities heading into the summer at Everton, though there isn’t a single position where the Toffees couldn’t do with extra bodies.
MORE TOFFEES STORIES
With the likes of Gus Hamer linked, the Merseysiders appear to have nailed down a midfield target, but the update from Rennes could gift them an easy option when it comes to bolstering their defensive lineup.
A report from Foot Mercato (28 May) states that the Ligue 1 outfit are planning a “massive downsizing” in the coming weeks, which could see as many as 19 players leave this summer.

One of those rumoured to be on the chopping block is formerly Everton-linked Adrien Truffert, who is said to have interest from Marseille.
With Ashley Young leaving, the Toffees need more options, and this could provide them an excellent opportunity to seal that at what would likely be a relatively low price given the situation.

Everton need to recruit smartly this summer
The sky is the limit for Everton next season under Moyes, but that sky can come crashing down very quickly if they aren’t meticulous in their planning for the summer.
Money will be available, and it is imperative that the finances are spent well and used to address the main issues in the squad.
With the right additions, this side can achieve something special next season, ahead of what promises to be a busy summer period.
