Everton boss Martinez set to raid Wycombe for highly-rated defender Hause in New Year



Everton are monitoring the rapid development of Wycombe defender Kortney Hause.



Roberto Martinez's side have watched the 18-year-old centre half a number of times in recent weeks as they plan their long term future.



Hause has been outstanding for the League Two strugglers this season and is regarded as one of the best young prospects in the division.

Wycombe are 15th in League Two after yesterday's 1-0 defeat at home to Newport County, but Hause's reputation continues to grow.



He broke into the Wycombe team midway through last season, but he has established himself this year as a first team regular under Gareth Ainsworth.

Hause's current valuation is around £500,000 and Everton are among a number of top Barclays Premier League clubs keeping an eye on him.
