Everton are chasing Crystal Palace defender Scott Dann.
The People says Everton are ready to make a move for the centre-half, who was born in Liverpool.
Palace are determined to keep hold of their current player of the year, who is wanted at Goodison to replace Sylvain Distin.
Palace also face losing defender Brede Hangeland, who is wanted back in his native Norway as a player-coach at Viking Stavanger.
