<span class="apple-converted-space">The Belgium international has the versatility of playing at both, centre-back and right-back positions, and had been linked with a summer move to Norwich but with that deal falling through, Everton&rsquo;s hopes of landing the player would be high.<br />

<span class="apple-converted-space">The 24-year-old&rsquo;s contract expires next summer and has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Tottenham. Ajax have found his replacement, with the signing of Mike van der Hoorn in July.<br />

<span class="apple-converted-space">His agent Soren Lerby claimed that Everton have now entered the race for his client, who is also being tracked by other clubs.<br />

"It's true that Everton have made an approach for Alderweireld," Soren Lerby told<span class="apple-converted-space">&nbsp;<em>Gazet van Antwerpen</em>.<br /> <br /> "But there are other concrete options. Toby will now have to decide which team he sees as the biggest challenge."
