Should Everton consider the defender in the summer?

The Toffees went after the centre-back in the summer of 2016, however, Napoli were insisting that they wanted £60m for their star man.

Koulibaly would certainly add stability to a leaky back line and would add even more experience to the side, however, it remains to be seen if the Italians will want to sell him at the end of the summer, especially if they are able to lift the Serie A trophy.
