Everton are keen to sign Conor Coady permanently in the summer.
The Toffees have the Wolves star on loan for the rest of this season.
The 29-year-old has made a big impression in a short space of time on manager Frank Lampard.
Everton can sign Coady at any time this term for a fee of around £12 million, per respected journalist Ekrem Konur.
The England international is excellent in a three-centre-back formation, which is what manager Lampard is hoping can help his side become more solid at the back.
The Toffees' most recent display was a gritty 1-0 win over West Ham United before the international break.
