Everton are keen on signing Real Madrid defender, Sergio Reguilon, according to Sky Sports. 

The 23-year-0ld has been an integral part of the Madrid team that has won the La Liga title this season under Zinedine Zidane.

A flying left-back, Reguilon made over 30 appearances in all competitions for Los Blancos, proving to be an adequate and capable deputy and replacement for legendary Brazilian defender, Marcelo.

However, Sky claims that Everton has made a move to sign the Spaniard, with a bid in the region of £18m being lodged by the Toffees. 

Carlo Ancelotti is seeking a replacement for the retired Leighton Baines, while on the other hand, Madrid is looking to sell a number of players to try and fund their own summer spending spree.

Lucas Digne is the main man at Goodison Park but Ancelotti will be keen to see the Frenchman pushed next season. Reguilon, then, could well prove the ideal capture for the Italian boss.

There’s nothing wrong with building a quality squad and spending a bit of money, but is there really a need for Everton to spend £18m on someone who might not even play?

Furthermore, will Reguilon even want to move to play second-fiddle? It’s hard to imagine he will.

The Spaniard has been excellent and has thrived under Zinedine Zidane. He’s winning too, having already been a Club World Champion before this season’s La Liga triumph.

Reguilon got his chance in Madrid after impressing against Manchester United and Juventus a few summers back. Since then, he’s not looked back and appears to go from strength to strength.
