Leroy Fer, Norwich City
Linked with Everton in January 2013 the move fell through due to recurring knee problems for the Dutchman and in the end Norwich made the plunge with a £4m transfer six months later.
Fer has managed to avoid injury in a physically imposing setup in England and as a Netherlands international and a fine box-to-box midfielder, the Toffees could well be tempted once again.
