Luis Binks has become an early transfer target for Everton.

Currently at Brondby in Denmark, the young defender came through the youth ranks with Tottenham.

Born in England, he also qualifies for Scotland and is with the Tartan Army after a call from new manager, Sebastien Pocognoli.

David Moyes has been consistently linked with Scotland in recent years, and will no doubt be watching on at Hampden Park.

After the dreadful end to the summer transfer window, the Friedkins and Angus Kinnear will surely be looking to put that right as soon as possible.

And Binks could get a chance to earn his move very early on.

Will Luis Binks make full Scotland debut?

The Scots welcome Switzerland to Hampden Park in their second Nations League match of the season on Tuesday.

It's been reported early by the Daily Record that Binks will get his first cap in Pocognoli's first home game.

Having been in the squad for the 0-0 draw with Slovenia on Saturday, he will now get his chance to prove his worth.

Not only for his country, but Everton too, with Moyes' spies on red alert over the possibility to sign Binks.

Seen as possible future replacements for Jake O'Brien and James Tarkowski, this could be a real audition for the Toffees.

How Luis Binks spent lockdown with Thierry Henry

Now this is a wild story, and one you likely need to look twice at.

At only 25, Binks has had a wild journey in football.

A quick glance at his clubs will tell you that, with Montreal, Bologna, Como and Coventry taking him to Brondby.

With Montreal back in 2020, Binks was actually managed by none other than Thierry Henry.

COVID lockdown struck very soon after and it left him with no living quarters after signing so soon before, meaning hotels were the only option.

After one hotel shut down, Binks revealed that Henry personally rang him to offer him the floor above him in the Ritz - something which sounds like a movie.

Taking the long way round in football, a series of solid performances for Scotland at the highest level could prove that he's ready for the Premier League and a move to Everton.

A lot of eyes will be watching tonight.
