Everton target Cristian Zapata

Everton are lining up AC Milan's Cristian Zapata as a potential replacement for defender John Stones.

The Toffees are expected to move for a new central defender in the transfer window, as they are most likely to accept a third and final offer from Chelsea for Stones.

According to ESPN, 28-year-old Zapata is considered as the perfect fit for the role, given his excellent physique while intercepting crosses in the box.

The Colombian international has struggled for first-team action at the Rossoneri, and a move to the Premier League could be ideal for his style of play.
