SAM ALLARDYCE wants to sign James Tomkins in the January transfer window.
The Everton boss has eased relegation fears by leading the Toffees to four wins and a draw since replacing Ronald Koeman.
Now he wants to build for the future with centre-back Tomkins — who he managed for four years at West Ham — lined up to bolster his defence.
Tomkins, 28, was sold by West Ham to Crystal Palace in a £10million deal in July last year.
The Eagles are likely to want double that — though boss Roy Hodgson will be loathe to sell with Palace fighting to stay up. Meanwhile Everton and Arsenal target Steven N’Zonzi has been spotted at Gatwick Airport, fuelling talk of a return to the Premier League.
The former Stoke and Blackburn midfielder has already told Sevilla that he wants a move.
N’Zonzi, who turned 29 last Friday, allegedly fell out with Sevilla boss Eduardo Berizzo following the 3-3 draw with Liverpool.
