Everton are reportedly considering asking Ajax Director of Football Marc Overmars to take a similar position at Goodison Park this summer.

After Roberto Martinez was sacked before the last game of the season, there have been growing rumours that Everton want to shake up the way in which the team is managed, believed to be pushed forward by new major shareholder Farhad Moshiri.

Now, as time marches on, rumours are growing that a Director of Football could be instated, with Overmars being the latest linked with the role.

Overmars enjoyed a successful playing career at the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona, and in 2012 took up the role of Director of Football at Ajax.

Ajax currently sit 30th in the UEFA rankings, some 40 places above Everton, and five places above Europa League runners up Liverpool.
