Everton are eyeing New York Red Bulls defender Tim Ream.
Everton boss David Moyes has asked goalkeeper Tim Howard about his USA teammate and been urged to consider moving for the young centre-half.
Ream is enjoying an outstanding Gold Cup campaign and has won great praise from club teammates Thierry Henry and Rafa Marquez.
"Tim has attracted attention from clubs across Europe," said Ream's agent, Patrick McCabe.
"Ultimately, he wants to play in Europe, but we'll take things step by step."
Everton face competition from PSV Eindhoven for Ream.
