Everton are reportedly interested in signing Bohemians defender Kevin Feely, according to the club's boss Aaron Callaghan.
The 19-year-old is regarded as one of the best young talents in Ireland and has reportedly attracted a host of English interest.
"There is definite interest there from Everton, it's just a matter of what they do with it, but they are keen on Kevin," Callaghan told the Evening Herald.
"They are not the only ones interested - Charlton had Kevin over for four days and while he didn't play in a match with them when he was there he impressed in training and they'd like to have a second look.
"I would hate to lose Kevin but if we were able to sell him and bring in some finance for the club it would be positive all round as he really wants to further his career."
Everton currently sit sixth in the Premier League table.
