Everton are reportedly ready to swoop in for Leicester City defender Jannik Vestergaard this summer in a bid to bolster their defensive options.

Everton are interested in signing Leicester City defender Jannik Vestergaard, according to a report.

The 29-year-old only joined the Foxes last summer after moving from Southampton, but he has struggled to earn a regular place in the starting lineup.

Brendan Rodgers has used the Danish international in just 10 of Leicester's 27 Premier League games, while featuring him six times in other competitions.

Vestergaard's time at the King Power Stadium could end up being a short one, as Football Insider reports that Everton are plotting a bid for him this summer.

Frank Lampard is keen to bolster his defensive options this summer, with the Toffees currently possessing the fourth-worst goal difference in the Premier League and having conceded 47 goals this season.

An Everton scout was in attendance during Denmark's recent 3-0 victory over Serbia, where he was understood to be impressed by Vestergaard's aerial presence.
