Everton and Sean Dyche are aiming to bring in Brazilian centre-back Rodrigo Becao IF Michael Keane is able to complete his move away from Goodison Park during the January window, according to recent reports

The toffees look set to announce the appointment of Sean Dyche as their new manager after the sacking of Frank Lampard on Monday evening. 

Although Dyche will not be joining as close to the January deadline as Lampard did, he does not have an extensive amount of time to make any signings, with the window closing on Tuesday evening. 

However, it does seem that the Englishman has his eye on some defensive reinforcements for his new side. 

According to The Daily Mail, Everton have shown interest in bringing in Udinese centre-half, Rodrigo Becao and could attempt to sign the 27-year-old before the end of the January transfer window. However, they might need to Michael Keane to depart from the club in order to complete any potential deal. 

Everton seemed to be interested in Becao during the summer transfer window, but the signing must have been seen as unnecessary after they completed the signings of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski.

However, if the blues were to sell Michael Keane during the window, they may look at replacing him with Becao. 

West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Michael Keane after they sold Craig Dawson to Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the window. 

Should Everton sign Becao?
