Everton have recently reignited their pursuit of John McGinn as they look to strengthen their midfield ranks.

The Aston Villa skipper has been a key part of their resurgence in recent years, but he has been consistently linked with an exit since the start of the transfer window.

Everton were strongly linked with a move for McGinn earlier in the summer, but were unable to convince their Premier League rivals to entertain a sale.

David Moyes is still keen to add fresh faces to his squad in the last few weeks of the window, and that has seen the Toffees launch a fresh offensive to try and get their man.
