Three clubs have reportedly shown an interest in signing Everton defender Mason Holgate.
The 22-year-old began the season in Marco Silva's plans, but the return to fitness of Yerry Mina has resulted in the Englishman dropping down the pecking order.
Silva is said to be prepared to give the green light to a loan deal in January and according to The Mirror, Fulham, Derby County and Sheffield United are all monitoring the situation.
The Cottagers require defensive additions in order to boost their hopes to remaining in the Premier League, while Derby and Sheffield United are both looking for signings which could help them secure promotion to the top flight.
Holgate has not featured for Everton since the 3-1 defeat to Everton on September 16.
