Everton are looking to make an approach for Rubin Kazan midfielder Yann M’Vila.
The French international joined the Russians last January despite lots of interest from English clubs and Everton boss Roberto Martinez is looking to make a move according to The Express
The holding midfielder’s agent Werner Baader confirmed that English clubs are interested.
Baader said: “Indeed, many European clubs are interested in Yann, including English clubs.
“This is normal for a player of such a high level.
“At the moment M’Vila is under contract with Rubin, and the club are satisfied.
“Let’s see what happens in the winter [transfer window].”
M’Vila has attracted English clubs before with North London rivals Spurs and Arsenal interested in the controversial player who has been banned by France before while having an unauthorised night out while on duty with the French under 21’s team.
M’Vila only moved to Rubin Kazin in January in a move which cost the Russians £9.6m and it is thought that a fee of around the same kind of money would secure the player for Everton.
M’Vila has played 22 times for France in his career and has played 26 times for the Russian club including outings in the Europa League.

He is a terrific player and if we had the spare cash I think he would be a great buy.
I would prefer however, that we signed a top quality striker first (ASAP) because it seems certain that Lukaku will go back to Chelsea and he needs replacing.
