Everton are understood to have put Genoa's Brooke Norton-Cuffy back on their shortlist.

David Moyes is in the market for a new right-back this summer and the former Arsenal man is in their sights again.

The Blues were stuck playing Jake O'Brien in the position last season as Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson were not up to scratch.

Goodison News has covered Everton's search for a right-back extensively, but they seem to be no closer to adding one to the squad.

They have added midfielder Hayden Hackney and winger Tyrique George and priorities must now shift to the backline.

Several names have emerged as potential signings, and we look at three targets that the Toffees could sign.

Brooke Norton-Cuffy developments suggest he may be the man for Everton

Norton-Cuffy was heavily linked with the Blues in the winter window, and his name has now re-emerged.

The 22-year-old is understood to be attracting attention once again from Moyes' side.

Italian outlet La Repubblica claimed on Tuesday that the L3 outfit have renewed their interest in the former Arsenal man.

It states that he would be available for a figure of £17million, labelling that number minimal for Premier League teams.

Djed Spence could be the answer to Everton's problems as Tottenham future uncertain

Djed Spence is another who has consistently linked with the Blues in recent weeks.

The England star is understood to be on the Toffees' shortlist and Tottenham's stance may make an exit possible.

The Standard claimed on Monday that there is no guarantee of a place for the defender in Roberto De Zerbi's line-up.

It states that Destiny Udogie is viewed as the starter on the left, with Andy Robertson as a back-up and Pedro Porro's position on the right is not under threat.

That could leave the door open for the 25-year-old to force his way to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Everton may have to move fast to sign Guela Doue

Guela Doue is another option who could be pursued by the Blues.

However, they face competition from Inter Milan, who could turn their attention to the Ivory Coast man.

They had agreed a deal to sign Anan Khalaili, but that deal could be in jeopardy due to medical tests.

Calciomercato claimed on Sunday that Doue is the Nerazzurri's top pick if they can't sign the Union Saint-Gilloise man.

That means that the Toffees may have to act quickly if they are to wrap up the 23-year-old's signature.
