The agent of Ajax defender Toby Alderweireld has claimed that Everton have made an approach for his client this summer.

The 24-year-old, who has just one year remaining on his current contract, has been linked with a number of European clubs.

"It's true that Everton have made an approach for Alderweireld," Soren Lerby told Gazet van Antwerpen.

"But there are other concrete options. Toby will now have to decide which team he sees as the biggest challenge."

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with an interest in the Belgium international.
