Dumfries had an excellent season with the Dutch outfit last year and he carried that form into the European Championships with the Netherlands as well.
The 25-year-old produced impressive defensive displays for his country during this summer’s tournament and he chipped in with vital goals as well.
Everton are in desperate need of a quality right-back who can replace Seamus Coleman in the long run and Dumfries seems like the perfect fit.
The Toffees will have to sort out their vulnerable defence if they want to challenge for European qualification next season and the signing of Dumfries would certainly improve them on the right-hand side of the pitch.
The Merseyside outfit already have a top-class left-back in Lucas Digne and Rafa Benitez must now look to bring in a quality young centre back to partner Ben Godfrey at the heart of his defence.
The Toffees are being linked with a move for the Juventus defender Merih Demiral and it remains to be seen who they end up signing eventually.
