Everton are considering a move for Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy this summer.

The Toffees are eager to add a no.2 to provide adequate backup for Jordan Pickford.

Per The Sun, Everton have a tight budget this summer, with a big money striker signing their priority.

McCarthy is a top earner at Southampton, with the Championship club eager to move him on.

The ex-Crystal Palace star has two years remaining on his contract, but would not cost Everton a massive transfer fee.

The Saints are happy to let him leave as a free agent, provided his wages are entirely off their books.
