Leicester No1 Kasper Schmeichel is shock £20m Everton target as Foxes fight to keep their title-winning squad together
Incoming Toffees boss Ronald Koeman makes a new keeper his top target - and accepts he can't get England's Joe Hart
EVERTON are eyeing a shock £20million swoop for Kasper Schmeichel.
Ronald Koeman’s top priority when he gets into the Goodison hotseat is getting a goalkeeper.
And he is ready to test Leicester’s ability to keep their title-winning squad together for the Champions League.
Jamie Vardy is a target for Arsenal and boss Arsene Wenger is also a big fan of N’Golo Kante.
PFA player of the year Riyad Mahrez is expected to consider his future if other top stars begin to leave amid fears the Foxes dream could fall apart.
Schmeichel, who has two years left on his contract, was among the underdogs that came up from the Championship with Leicester.
The Premier League champions are likely to offer him a new deal after his five years at the club.
But Everton could try and tempt him with a big offer as they step up their search for a new No1 following Tim Howard’s departure.

New owner Farhad Moshiri will sanction a big summer splurge after getting Dutchman Koeman signed up as boss.
They wanted Manchester City and England No1 Joe Hart but have no chance of landing him and Schmeichel is a more realistic alternative.
