NEC Nijmegen's Swedish defender Jonas Olsson has claimed that Everton are keeping tabs on him.
The 25-year-old is reported to be a summer transfer target for several Premier League clubs, with Middlesbrough and Newcastle United also in the hunt, with Olsson having helped his current club qualify for the UEFA Cup.
Olsson said: "I know that they (Everton) have been to watch me.
"The Premier League is something I have dreamt about since I was a child. Everton would be a fantastic club to join.
"I feel I have developed everything in Holland. The physical side of my game has improved as well as when I am in possession.
"It would be nice for Nijmegen to get a decent fee for me after spending three years here."
Olsson has won nearly 20 caps at Under-21s level for his country, but has yet to earn a call-up into the senior squad.
