The Lyon power Tanguy Ndombele would be the biggest transfer shot of Everton

Martyn Glover, chief scout of Everton, has repeatedly observed the young Lyon driver Tanguy Ndombele.

But the Blues will have to make a remarkable transfer coup if they want to persuade the 21 – year – old French international to settle in Merseyside.

Everton's football director Marcel Brands has already had notable successes in the field of transfers.

The President of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas, said in August: "Yerry Mina is still very interested in OL and we hope that he will be a player from Lyon to play the Champions League at Groupama stadium. . "

A month later, Mina signed for the Blues.

Chelsea, Inter Milan and West Ham all reportedly sought the signature of free agent Bernard during the summer, but the Brazilian again found himself at Goodison Park.

But if Everton can somehow secure Ndombele, he would even put these deals in the shade.

Against Manchester City last night, the youngster made a superb run of 79 assists, with a passing accuracy of 94%, three successful dribbles, two tackles won and a flying challenge.

Pep Guardiola then said: "Lyon are one of the best teams we have played in. Aouar is incredible and Ndombele is unbelievably calm."

But talent like Ndombele is rarely ignored, and a host of Europe's biggest clubs are also watching.

Arsene Wenger has been linked to a post of director of football at Paris St Germain and he would like his first nomination to be the French midfielder.

Reports have also been made linking Ndombele to Arsenal and Liverpool, while Tottenham's boss, Mauricio Pochettino, would be LIVID if a Spurs player had made an intensive search in Merseyside.

As reported, Man City is extremely aware of the player's talent, while Juve and Barca have also been associated with his signature.

But at least Ndombele knows how good it feels to play Goodison. He was introduced at the last minute as a substitute in the 2-1 win of the Europa League in Lyon last season.

Brands and co. will have some work to do if he wants to add something to this appearance.
