Everton weigh up PSG's Clement Chantome as Marouane Fellaini replacement
EVERTON are bracing themselves for Marouane Fellaini's departure by mulling over a move for Paris St Germain midfielder Clement Chantome.
Fellaini's future has been the subject of swirling speculation as he has been connected with a move to Arsenal, even though the Gunners are unwilling to meet the Belgian's £23m release clause.
But now it seems the Toffees have plans in place should their powerhouse midfielder leave Goodison Park.
A report in French paper RMC Sport has it that new Everton boss Roberto Martinez has been keeping a close eye on Chantome.
They also suggest that Chantome fits the mould of player Martinez is looking for.
Chantome clocked up 34 appearances last season for PSG, netting just once in Ligue 1.
