Everton are already planning for reinforcements in the summer with Mexican Hector Moreno high on their agenda.
The 24-year-old Espanyol centre-back has missed just one of his side's 22 league games this season and has weighed in with two goals.
The Mexico international is contracted to the La Liga side until 2016 but Everton are monitoring his form and situation in the hope of securing a switch at the end of the season.
David Moyes is believed to have sent a scout to see the former AZ Alkmaar star in action and Italian club Palermo are also aware of his progression according to Mexican paper Esto.
