According to rumors from the British press, Everton are on the trail of Nigeria international Eddy Onazi.

If we are to believe eyefootball.com,  Everton have set their sights on Onazi as a potential replacement for Marouane Fellaini, who could depart the Liverpool based club in the summer transfer market.

The Tofees are said to be in contact with the leadership of Lazio, who have fixed a transfer fee of 5.5 million euros for the player's signature.

This is not the first time Eddy Onazi is being linked with a transfer to the English Premier League.

Few weeks ago, local media erroneously reported that he was on the radar of Chelsea, according to reports in the Italian press.

The 20 - year - old is under contract with Lazio until the end of the 2015 - 2016 season.
