Udinese defender Thomas Heurtaux is interesting Everton.

The Frenchman has popped up on Everton boss Roberto Martinez's radar this week.

Heurtaux is interesting Martinez as he faces up to losing John Stones to Chelsea in a big money sale.

The centre-half, 27, is tied to Udinese until 2017.

Should Udinese be prepared to sell, partner club Watford are also likely to ask about a price for Heurtaux.
