Everton's search for a long-term right-back solution may be edging closer to a resolution, with Manchester City's Rico Lewis reportedly emerging as a serious target for David Moyes, according to English Premier League Index.
The report suggests interest in the 20-year-old has shifted from casual admiration to something more concrete, as Moyes looks to strengthen a position that has clearly been a priority area for the Toffees this summer.
Lewis, who has been on Pep Guardiola's books at the Etihad and shown himself capable of operating in multiple roles across City's backline and midfield, would represent a significant statement of intent from Everton if a deal were to materialise.
No figures or contract details have been disclosed at this stage, and City's willingness to sanction a sale of a player they value so highly remains unclear. For now, this is very much one to watch rather than a done deal — but it's a name Everton fans should keep an eye on as speculation builds.
