Everton are monitoring Lutsharel Geertruida's situation ahead of the summer, but face competition from several other Premier League clubs. The 25-year-old Dutch right-back, on loan at Sunderland from RB Leipzig, is also being monitored by Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Crystal Palace. It is also reported that Liverpool are interested in a summer deal, having scouted the versatile player in January.

Geertruida is believed to be available for a reported £20 million, and although Sunderland have an option to make the move permanent for that price, the final decision is the player's. Sources indicate that his representatives are aware of the interest and potential opportunities elsewhere, which are not limited to England. The defender has earned 19 caps for the Netherlands and has made 25 appearances in the Premier League this season, providing one assist.
