Everton tracking Will Hughes

Derby County youngster Will Hughes is considered a top transfer target for Premier League side Everton for the summer.

The 18-year-old had been seriously linked with a switch to Merseyside rivals Liverpool during the winter transfer window, having had an excellent spell with the Rams in the Championship.

According to Football Direct News, the Toffees are hopeful of luring the talented midfielder to Goodison Park in the summer, but are likely to face competition from the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool for his signature.

Hughes has made over 70 appearances for the Rams since his debut in 2011 as a 16-year-old.
