But with the Blues having to make numerous moves in so many other areas to reshape their squad, the potential acquisition of Kenny Tete would represent a prudent piece of recruitment.

It has been reported that Everton have reached a verbal agreement to sign Tete, whose contract at Fulham officially ends on June 30, as a free agent, with a three-year deal in place and formal steps to follow next week.

Evertonians have just spent the past week trying to get their heads around their club being linked with an audacious swoop for Kyle Walker.

Like rumours surrounding his Manchester City team-mate Jack Grealish, the high profile of the pair ensures that such speculation is bound to attract lots of attention, particularly among the wider football world at large, but that also offers the prospect of players who are big in several ways.
