Everton are lining up a shock move for Tottenham Hotspur's England defender Danny Rose this summer, according to The Mirror.

The left-back, 28 this summer, is Everton's top choice as the long-term successor to Leighton Baines, who will turn 34 in December as they continue to try and build for the future.

Rose was heavily linked to a move to Manchester United earlier this season following his outburst over the wage structure at Spurs but no move has materialised as of yet as he appears to have lost his place in Tottenham's starting XI to Welsh defender Ben Davies.

The England international is understood to be on around £60,000 a week at Spurs but he could double that if he can complete a move to Old Trafford.

But United's interest has cooled with the Yorkshire-born star troubled by injury this season.

The injuries, combined with the good form of Davies, have restricted Rose to 16 games for Mauricio Pochettino's team this term – but Everton are keen to land him in the summer if he is allowed to leave.

The Toffees are ready to push through a deal, even though Spurs are certain to play hard ball over a fee in the region of £37m if they are to allow Rose to leave this summer.

Daniel Levy and co faced a similar situation just 12 months ago as they held forced Manchester City to cough up £50m in order to complete a deal for Kyle Walker.

Meanwhile, Swansea centre-back Alfie Mawson is also on the radar at Goodison Park. Everton have consistently monitored Mawson but face competition from West Ham, Leicester and Watford for his signature.
