Everton have made a bid of just over £22million for Barcelona’s Lucas Digne.

Everton boss Marco Silva feels Digne could be Leighton Baines’ long-term successor at Goodison Park and the Blues have opened the bidding for the French left-back.

Everton’s offer is believed to be worth €25million up front with further payments in add-ons.

Barcelona are not looking to sell Digne and he is understudy to Jordi Alba at left-back.

However Digne, 25, is unsettled at the Nou Camp because his lack of game time last season cost him a place in France’s victorious World Cup squad.

Digne played in the qualifiers and was gutted to be dropped by Didier Deschamps for Russia.

Juventus and Bayern Munich have also looked at Digne and Everton, who have dropped their interest in Celtic and Scotland left-back Kieran Tierney, have made the first move.
