The same reports suggest that David Moyes was in Italy last week to watch the Ogbonna in action.
The same report also suggests that Everton have not found an adequate replacement for Joleon Lescott (really?!) and the versatile Italian under-21 international could be just the man to step into Lescott's wildly overpriced boots.
Which is just another way of saying that a highly-rated central defender - who can also play at full back...and probably in midfield - is on the market so Everton have to be interested.
But, now they're a Champions League club, does this mean that Tottenham will still be sniffing around our transfer targets?
Arsenal are also said to be looking at Ogbonna and will be ready to offer silly money for everyone when Cesc Fabreags completes his £50 million move to Barcelona.
Ready to offer silly money for everyone including Mikel Arteta...it's going to be a nail-biting summer this one!!!
