Arsenal, Everton in race for Getafe defender Djene Dakonam?

Everton have reportedly joined Arsenal in the race to sign Getafe defender Djene Dakonam.

The 27-year-old made 34 appearances for the Spanish side during the current campaign, helping the club finish in fifth place in the La Liga standings.

However, Dakonam's form has come at a cost to Getafe, who now face a battle to keep hold of the Togo international after one of their best seasons in their history.

According to Marca, both Arsenal and Everton have already indicated that they are interested in signing the centre-back during the summer transfer window.

Dakonam, who still has four years remaining on his contract, could cost in the region of €35m (£31.16m).
