EVERTON want to launch a £25million summer raid for West Ham and England left-back Aaron Cresswell.
Boss Sam Allardyce – who signed Cresswell for the Hammers four years ago from Ipswich – is a big fan and wants him to compete with Leighton Baines.
Cresswell is a Liverpudlian and heralds from the Tranmere Rovers academy.
A source told SunSport: “Aaron is keen on moving back to Liverpool and Everton would be a great move for him.”
The West Ham ace has been capped three times for England and is a key part of the East Londoners squad.
David Moyes will not want to lose him next season if he remains as manager but the lure of going back home could be too big for Cresswell to resist.

And there have been suggestions the deal is already sealed for the 56-year-old to change jobs once PSV wrap up the Eredivise title.
But SunSport has been told that the Dutch club have had no contact with the Merseysiders – or been told by Brands that he is going anywhere.
And they have rubbished the claims Brands will be announced by Everton after they win the title, which could be as early as next weekend if results go their way.
It is understood the Premier League side had spoken to PSV last year to enquire about him, but that interest was not followed up after the start of the season.
After a goalless draw at home to Liverpool, Big Sam takes his side to South Wales to face Swansea on Saturday.
