Everton could be on alert following a report that one of their summer targets wants to leave his club after a lack of game time in 2019/20.

According to Foot Mercato, Adrien Tameze is ready to search for pastures new, after featuring in just nine games so far this season for Nice, equating to 575 minutes on the pitch.

The Frenchman of Cameroonian descent is said to be unhappy, and Nice will apparently sanction his exit should they receive an appropriate offer.

At the moment there aren’t any bids on the table, but clubs may now be ready to come forth after the lastest development.

Perhaps one such team to come sniffing will be Everton, who were supposedly looking at Tameze in the summer as a possible replacement for Idrissa Gueye (RMC Sport).

The Toffees eventually signed Jean-Philippe Gbamin, who has hardly played at Goodison Park due to injury.

TBR’s view – Schneiderlin upgrade

Everton may have signed Gbamin, but arguably there is still need for the Toffees to beef up their midfield.

Morgan Schneiderlin has never particularly convinced for Everton, so perhaps if Nice are ready to sell then the club should make some enquiries.

Tameze is particularly good at surging forwards with the ball from deeper positions.

He could be a useful driving force for Everton – at the moment, there isn’t a lot of mobility in the middle of the park.
