Everton to move for Hoffenheim defender Kevin Vogt?

Everton are allegedly lining up a move for Hoffenheim centre-back Kevin Vogt.

German source Bild reports that the Toffees were impressed with the defender's showing in Hoffenheim's Champions League qualifier with Liverpool and will therefore make a bid for the 26-year-old.

The source adds that Everton boss Sam Allardyce is considering Vogt as a replacement for 33-year-old Ashley Williams, who is nearing the end of his career.

Vogt has made 17 appearances for the Bundesliga side this term, registering one assist in the top flight.

The defender has also appeared five times in the Europa League after losing to Liverpool over two legs in the summer.
