Everton are eyeing a potential move for Inter Milan centre-back Andrea Ranocchia.

The Toffees are still worried about losing John Stones to Chelsea and are making contingency plans in case that eventuates.

The Daily Mail is reporting that Everton have made enquiries about the 27-year-old despite the fact they are set to land Argentine defender Ramiro Funes Mori from River Plate.

20-time Italy international Ranocchia has been with Inter since 2011 after starting his career with Arezzo before moving to Genoa and spending time on loan with Bari.
