Everton are interested in signing Bournemouth winger Matt Ritchie, according to Tom Hopkinson of The Mirror.
Manchester United, West Bromwich Albion and West Ham have also been linked with a move for the 26-year-old, who the Cherries would be extremely reluctant to sell.
Ritchie has been a mainstay in Eddie Howe’s team and has started every Premier League game, so there will be a huge reluctance to let him go.
A good run of form, three draws and three wins in the last six games, has seen Bournemouth move to 14th in the league table as the look to preserve their top-flight status.

Ritchie has two goals and three assists in the league this year and had a chance to add to that in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace, but he couldn’t find the back of the net with his header.
Ritchie has been very impressive this season and with the futures of Kevin Mirallas and Steven Naismith remaining uncertain, the Scottish international could be a good signing for Roberto Martinez.
