Everton head for Paris and midfielder Sessegnon

Everton are considering a move for Paris St Germain midfielder Stephane Sessegnon, reports the Liverpool Echo. The Blues have been alerted by the Benin international's declaration that he wants to leave the French outfit this summer.

Boss David Moyes went on a scouting mission to watch the 26-year-old last season and must now decide whether to follow up his interest with a bid.

Reports in France suggest PSG will demand a fee of around £8million.

"I want to move out of PSG," Sessegnon said. "They know it, I know it."

Sessegnon, who has scored eight goals in 54 appearances for PSG, has been repeatedly linked with a move to the Premier League in recent years with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City among the clubs monitoring his progress.
