Crystal Palace and Everton battling it out for Marseille keeper Mandanda

Everton are hoping to seal a summer deal for Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.

The Sun is of the belief that the Toffees have made enquiries regarding the 31-year-old France international who is set to soon leave Marseille on a free.

Crystal Palace are also showing significant interest in Mandanda and according to L'Equipe, are in advanced discussions with the gloveman.

However, Ronald Koeman is keen to lure the former Le Havre man to Goodison Park after the Toffees lost veteran Tim Howard and although he is yet to make a formal approach, the Dutchman is expected to do so.

Everton are also believed to be showing interest in Southampton's Fraser Forster and Fulham's Maarten Stekelenburg, who spent last season on loan with the Saints from Fulham.
