Everton eye one-cap France star, 23, in £20m transfer as David Moyes looks to solve left-back problems
EVERTON boss David Moyes wants Rennes’ Adrien Truffert to solve his left-back problem.
Moyes is trying to sign the one-cap France ace, 23, who could be tempted to come to the Premier League.
Truffert is rated in the £20million bracket and the Toffees could find the money for him.
Moyes is keen on a loan first but unlikely to get him that way.
Other top-flight clubs want the wing-back but the Goodison Park strugglers have come on strong and will try to close the deal before Monday’s transfer deadline.
Truffert debuted for Rennes in 2020 after coming through the Ligue 1 club’s academy.
He has gone on to play 176 times for the Red and Blacks.
Truffert earned his France debut in September 2022 during a clash with Denmark.
The wing-back received the call-up following an injury to former Everton favourite Lucas Digne.
This season he has played 18 times for his boyhood club.

Truffert is set to be in action later today as Rennes host Strasbourg.
