Bournemouth are eyeing Everton veteran Sylvain Distin.
The Daily Express says Distin is out of contract this summer and looks certain to be released after being frozen out following a row with manager Roberto Martinez.
Newly-promoted Bournemouth believe he would strengthen their squad as they adapt to a first ever season in the Premier League.
Distin has previously been on the South Coast with Portsmouth before moving to Everton in 2009 as a replacement for Joleon Lescott. West Ham tried to sign the veteran in January to be asked to stump up a fee for a player, who is one of the most popular figures in the Everton's dressing room.
