Everton ready to move for former Liverpool target Manga Everton are showing interest in Lorient defender Bruno Ecuele Manga. The 25-year-old Gabon international was signed as a replacement for Laurent Koscielny who left for Arsenal in 2010, shunning interest from Liverpool and Inter Milan at the time.  Powerful: Lorient's Bruno Ecuele Manga (left) At 6ft 1in tall, Manga is suitably powerful enough to cope with the demands of the Premier League. His style not too disimilar to that of Sylvain Distin, the 35-year-old Toffee star. Everton face competition from Marseille for the player who said earlier this month that he was flattered to be linked with one of France's biggest clubs. He told RMC: 'At the moment I do not think too much about football with the season already finished. The club will sit down to discuss my future. It is always a pleasure to know that you are being courted.' New manager Roberto Martinez has a few defenders on his list including Swansea's Ashley Williams and Wigan free agent Antolin Alcaraz, with Johnny Heitinga likely to leave.  Options: Everton are also interested in Swansea defender Ashley Williams Speaking earlier this month, the Dutchman, who has one year left on his current deal, said: 'I've had my worst season since I joined. I don't want to extend my contract because it would mean they'd be my final club outside Holland. 'I have played in Spain and England, so maybe it's time for somewhere else. If Fenerbahce come in again, they're an option.I was close to joining them last summer. 'Everton seemed ready to let me go - but then the chairman told me "you're staying". I had been voted player of the season but David Moyes left me on the bench. I did well in training but didn't play enough.' Source: Mail |
