Sampdoria defender Julian Chabot is being watched by Everton.

TMW says Everton had scouts posted at the Estadio Nuevo Arcangel in Cordova, where they checked on Chabot in action for Germany U21 against Spain.

The defender was outstanding in the friendly, outshining Spain star Dani Olmo, of Dinamo Zagreb.

Chabot only moved to Samp in May from Groningen for €3.7m.

The defender is viewed at Samp as a long-term centre-half.
