Everton know what to do for West Ham star Wan-Bissaka after World Cup display - verdict
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of several right-back targets that Everton have in mind this summer transfer window.
Adding a new right-back is one of David Moyes' top priorities this summer, with a growing list of potential targets.
However, it seems like that list has been narrowed down in recent weeks, with speculation for some linked players simmering down.
Jake O'Brien played almost the entirety of last season out of position at right-back, and it's hard to argue against the fact that it cost the Toffees a place in Europe.
Everton officials are understood to be keeping a close eye on the World Cup this summer, with several transfer targets currently playing for their nation's success in North America.
However, Wan-Bissaka's latest showing in DR Congo's 1-1 draw with Portugal on Wednesday gave them all the answers the Blues needed to see.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka was immense against Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal
Everton have been linked with a move to sign Wan-Bissaka following West Ham's relegation to the Championship.
The 28-year-old was initially said to be worth around £10million, but it seems the Hammers have a higher value than that placed on his head.
It may cost Everton up to £20m to sign Wan-Bissaka, who will be an important sale for West Ham, given their need to raise over £100m in funds this summer.
However, the Toffees will be hoping the right-back's latest performance hasn't made that price tag even higher, because he was simply immense against Portugal.
Wan-Bissaka had the most defensive contributions in the game (10), made a last-man tackle and wasn't dribbled past once.
The commentators were explaining how the West Ham star is one of the best when defending one-against-one, and that's something that Everton need.
After early reservations, £20m could be nothing for what he could bring to Moyes.
Best-case Wan-Bissaka scenario for Everton
It was a huge point for DR Congo in their opening game of the World Cup, holding Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal to a draw.
They will now face off against Colombia next week, where a win could see them progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.
However, in an ideal world, Everton may want DR Congo to fall short and fail to qualify for the knockouts, which would send Wan-Bissaka home early.
The Toffees will then have a better chance of wrapping up a deal earlier, getting the defender in before any other Premier League club inevitably swoops in.
