Everton have made an approach for Roma defender Kostas Manolas, according to Sky Italian.

The 25-year-old Roma defender is thought to be one of the very best in Serie A, and it's reported that Roma have previously been unwilling to sell the defender, with Chelsea reportedly a recent admirer.

However the Greek international has suffered an injury-hit campaign, making 20 appearances in all but having had four separate spells on the sidelines.

Roma signed Manolas back in 2014 for a fee of around £12m. He is said to be worth at least double that amount now.

Elsewhere this morning and the speculation over Morgan Schneiderlin's future continues.

Everton are said to be favourites to sign the midfielder, but L'Equipe report that West Brom are currently offering more money to Manchester United - causing a delay in any potential deal.

Ronald Koeman is keen on a reunion with the former Southampton midfielder, who is said to be eager to leave Old Trafford for more regular game time.
