Everton are eyeing Valencia defender Aymen Abdennour.

The Mirror says Abdennour could be allowed to leave with Everton long-time admirers as they look to bolster their defence.

But Porto have now come in offering a season-long loan deal with a fixed sale option in 2017.

Abdennour, a Tunisia international who holds a French passport, joined Valencia from French Ligue 1 side Monaco last summer for £17m.
