Everton hold an interest in Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, who Marseille are currently trying to sign.
The player could move on from Watford this summer, with no return to the Premier League having been secured for the Vicarage Road outfit.
Marseille have spied an option to sign Sarr and have been in touch with Watford to put forward a verbal offer, with the Hornets claimed to be looking for between €22m and €25m to let him go.
Marseille are not alone in their admiration of Sarr however and, according to French outlet Foot Mercato, Everton are also keen.
Everton tried to land Sarr in the January transfer window, but no move to Goodison Park materialised.
It remains to be seen if Everton will go head to head with Marseille for Sarr, but the Toffees are interested.
While joining Everton would give Sarr the chance to play Premier League football again, a move to France, where he has played before, to Marseille, would put Champions League football at his feet.
Everton are moving towards signing Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal on a season-long loan and all eyes will be on whether he links up with Sarr on Merseyside.

Everton Poised To Make Signing Within 24 Hours
The Toffees recently agreed a loan deal with Villarreal to sign the attacker and he will remain at Goodison Park for the entirety of next season.
There is no option to buy in the loan agreement, with Villarreal unable to agree a suitable purchase price with Everton.
Danjuma has been put through his medical paces by Everton, with the process now completed.
The Merseyside outfit will proceed to complete the capture of the attacker within the next 24 hours.
Signing Danjuma will be a welcome boost for Everton manager Sean Dyche, who is keen to increase his attacking options for next term.
Danjuma had been due to join Everton on loan in January, but he pulled out of the switch to sign for Tottenham Hotspur.
He struggled to make an impact in north London though and found other options were preferred ahead of him.
