Nottingham Forest youngster Matty Cash is interesting Everton.

The Sun says Everton are lining up a £12m January swoop for Cash.

The Toffees have sent scouts to watch the 22-year-old on several occasions already this season – impressed by his versatility as both a midfielder and full-back.

And with Cash's current contract expiring in the summer of 2021, Everton and Marco Silva are hoping to make an early bid before his price rockets come May.

Crystal Palace and Southampton are also keeping an eye on Cash, whose status has risen dramatically since progressing through the Forest academy and signing a senior deal in 2016.
