Everton in for Aston Villa winger Albrighton

Everton are looking at a summer swoop for Aston Villa's Marc Albrighton.

The Birmingham Mail reports that Toffees boss Roberto Martinez is a big fan of the 24-year old winger who is out of contract this summer.

Albrighton, who has been with Villa since he was a youth, has made 19 Premier League appearances since returning from a short loan spell with Wigan Athletic and is set to finish in the top five in the fan-voted Player of the Year award.

Villa boss Paul Lambert said last week that the club had spoken to Albrighton's representatives regarding a new deal but the two parties had yet to come to an agreement which has alerted Everton.
