Everton are targeting Tom Cleverley when the summer transfer window opens, according to various reports.

The Manchester United midfielder is currently on loan at Aston Villa but will be out of contract at the end of the season and looks likely to court interest from a number of clubs.

Villa will likely want to make his switch permanent but Everton are keen to convince the 25-year-old to move to Goodison Park.

Roberto Martinez will hope his relationship with Cleverley can count in his favour with the pair having worked together when the midfielder went on loan to Wigan during the 2010/11 season.

Cleverley made his England debut in 2012 and has collected 13 caps.
