Everton want to bolster their defence with Barcelona duo Lucas Digne and Yerry Mina.

Marco Silva is yet to make a statement in the transfer market since taking over at the Merseyside club, but he and director of football Marcel Brands have been working through several ambitious targets.

Digne and Mina top their list and both are understood to be available having been starved of appearances since their high profile moves to the Nou Camp.

French international Digne is a 24-year-old left back, who was on the standby list for the World Cup.

He cost 16 million euros when moving to Spain from Paris St Germain in 2016, but after a promising start was unable to make himself a fixture in the side.
