Everton boss Sam Allardyce must sell if he wants to land Sevilla midfielder Steven N'Zonzi.
The Daily Star says Allardyce wants N'Zonzi, who also played for him while he was in charge at Blackburn.
Big Sam even investigated whether the France-born player could be eligible for England on residential grounds, when he was briefly in charge of the Three Lions.
But the feeling at Goodison is that, as they currently have an abundance of midfielders, one must go out if N'Zonzi, 28, comes in.
Ross Barkley, 24, is out of contract at the end of the season and a target for Tottenham and Chelsea.
