Everton are chasing Marseille winger Andre Ayew.
The Ghana ace is off contract in June and ready to move on.
The People says Everton chief Roberto Martinez is understood to have spoken to the Ghanaian flier about a switch to Merseyside after making a personal trip to France.
Ayew, 25, has run down his contract at the Velodrome and will be one of the most sought-after Bosmans in the market this summer.
He is attracting strong interest from Italy and Roma are among those who will be favourites to capture his signature.
