Everton have been monitoring the progress of Valenciennes defender Nicolas Isimat-Mirin. The 21-year-old could be a long term replacement for Sylvain Distin, who is expected to complete his switch away from Goodison Park.
The 6 foot 2 defender is one of the best young prospects in France, and has attracted interest from several Premier League sides but Everton are in pole position to sign the player.<br />
Liverpool were also a big fan of Isimat-Mirin, but had given up in their efforts to sign the player.
