Everton are hopeful of signing Juventus defender, Angelo Ogbonna, this summer, according to reports.
The centre-back is expected to leave the Serie A champions in this window and he has been heavily linked with a move to West Ham United.
However, the Liverpool Echo claims that Everton are firmly in the race to snap up the 27-year-old, who is expected to cost around £10 million, as they eye up replacements for Sylvain Distin.
Ogbonna, who has 10 caps for Italy, joined Juventus in 2013.
