Everton want a new full-back, and Norwich wonderkid Kellen Fisher appears to be high up on the shortlist.
The Friedkin Group considered making a bid for Fisher back in August to improve the full-back department for David Moyes, but ultimately signed just one new wide defender in Adam Aznou.
The Morocco international is yet to appear in the Premier League since his £8m move from Bayern Munich, however, and TEAMtalk now state that Everton want to sign Fisher this summer, having tried but failed to take the 21-year-old from Carrow Road in January.
Considering the England U21 international is highly regarded at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, let us have a more detailed look at his career and what he could bring to Everton.
If you are David Moyes, who would be your starting right-back for the remainder of the season? 🤔

Kellen Fisher can help David Moyes kill two birds with one stone at Everton
With Seamus Coleman struggling to stay fit and Moyes unconvinced by Nathan Patterson, a central defender in Jake O’Brien has played most of the season at right-back.
There is also a weakness on the left as Vitalii Mykolenko struggles for consistency, but a move for Fisher could help to ease both of these problems for the Toffees.
The Norwich No.35 has made 21 appearances at right-back so far this season, but is a versatile prospect with nine games on the left of defence as well.

Since Fisher began to settle into the backline, Norwich have surged up the Championship with eight wins from the last 12 – the Everton target has played every minute of this run except for 19.
Norwich signed the Bexley-born defender from Bromley for a sum of £100,000 back in June 2023.
With the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal also tracking Fisher – who is contracted to the Canaries until July 2028 – Norwich stand to make a huge profit.
