Everton want to reinforce their defence with former Olympique Lyon left-back Nicolas Tagliafico this transfer window.
The Argentina international is a free agent after his contract at the Ligue 2 outfit expired at the end of June.
David Moyes can now get Tagliafico in a bargain deal as the Scottish manager hopes for a competitive squad ahead of next season.
The World Cup winner is being eyed at Bramley-Moore Dock, and a significant offer could potentially be made soon to blow other teams out of the race.

Tagliafico’s Lihue 1 record last season.
It’s been claimed that the Merseyside outfit can offer the 32-year-old a competitive salary, something the La Liga outfit will find hard to do due to their financial difficulties.
With Vitalii Mykolenko the only decent option at left-back at Moyes’ disposal, the World Cup winner may be an ideal addition in L5.
Moyes should push for Tagliafico transfer at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Angus Gunn has been offered at Bramley-Moore Dock as the Toffees scour the free-agent market to reinforce their squad ahead of next season.
The Blues have lost a host of players whose contracts expired recently, which has arguably forced them to consider multiple options to add more squad depth.
Ashley Young won’t be part of Moyes’ plans in the upcoming campaign, giving the Merseyside outfit an incentive to sign a new left-back.
Everton used the English veteran as a backup for Mykolenko under the Scottish manager, with the former Manchester United star also featuring heavily at right-back.
Tagliafico would bring much-needed experience and quality to the Blues’ defence next season, but it remains to be seen whether they can secure his signing.
The Argentine left-back is a robust player capable of making significant contributions in the backline and still providing a threat in the final third.
With the 32-year-old a free agent, his situation can change quickly in the coming days, and it will be worth keeping an eye on.
