Freiburg defender Keven Schlotterbeck is interesting Everton.

Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti has made £6.75million-rated Schlotterbeck a surprise summer transfer target.

The Toffees already have Mason Holgate, Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Michael Keane on the books.

But Ancelotti appears keen to bolster his defensive ranks with a move for 23-year-old Schlotterbeck.

BILD's head of football, Christian Falk, confirmed the news on Twitter.
