Everton are seriously considering a move for Royal Antwerp defender Aurelio Buta.

The 24-year-old right back has caught the attention of the club's scouts in recent months.

Manager Rafa Benitez likes the look of Buta and wants to make the defender one of his summer signings, according to The Sun.

Benitez wants more depth in the right-back slot, with Seamus Coleman nearing the end of his career at the top level.

Meanwhile, Buta also has interest from Celtic, with Antwerp seeking a fee of around £3 million.
