New Everton boss Rafa Benitez is moving for Burnley winger Dwight McNeil.

The Mirror says Benitez has made it clear he wants the club to invest in new signings - and in particular wants wide players to provide a better service for his England centre forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

And Benitez sees Burnley's exciting winger McNeil as the pefect signing. The England U-21 international made big strides last season, and is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in the Premier League.

He has three years left on his contract and would command a fee in excess of £30m - but that is not considered inflated for a 21 year old who has already played almost 100 games in the Premier League.
