According to exclusive reports from Football Insider, Rafael Benitez has come to the same conclusion as his predecessor Carlo Ancelotti that there is no natural defensive pairing among the back four of the current Everton team.

The Spanish manager has reportedly asked the Toffees owner Farhad Moshiri to back him for the signing of a top class defender who can rival the likes of Ruben Dias and Virgil Van Dijk.

Currently, Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey, Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate are the first choice of the backline. Everton are looking for an experienced defender who can led from the back.
