Everton are interested in signing yet another Southampton star alongside Shea Charles, according to a report from Sports Boom.
The Toffees haven't been afraid to raid the Saints in recent years, bringing in Tyler Dibling for a significant fee last summer.
Everton have also been linked with a move to sign Charles from Southampton earlier this month, and they are now looking at another from Tonda Eckert's side.
David Moyes will be looking to build, not only a stronger squad, but also a bigger one, especially if they manage to qualify for Europe.
Squad depth has been a major issue for Everton over the last few years, and despite investing heavily last summer, the Merseyside club need to go to the next level later this year.
It's an important window for Everton if they want to regularly battle for the European places.

Everton Eyeing Another Southampton Star

According to a report from Sports Boom, Everton are one of the sides showing an interest in signing Southampton winger Leo Scienza during the summer transfer window.
The Saints face a fight to keep hold of him due to interest from a number of clubs, and they are set to demand in the region of £22m to allow Scienza to head through the exit door.
Everton are believed to want to improve their creativity issues specifically, by bringing Scienza, described as Southampton's 'best player by a mile', to the club.
Scienza has a contract that runs until 2029, but considering Southampton paid under £10m to secure his signature, they could find it difficult to turn down a big offer and make a quick profit.
Jack Grealish Could Impact Scienza Deal

Jack Grealish's future could have a major impact on whether Everton make a move to sign Scienza in the summer transfer window.
Grealish signed for the Toffees on loan from Manchester City last summer, and they will have to agree on another loan or permanent deal in order to keep him at the club.
Scienza and Grealish play in the same position, so it might be difficult to convince the former to join if the latter remains on Merseyside.
The need for a left-sided attacker is lessened if Grealish signs again, so it remains to be seen whether Everton strengthen in this position.
