Wolfsburg have lost their opening three matches and conceded eight goals - and McClaren wants DeMerit to shore up his leaky defence. But talkSPORT understands that Everton are also interested in the defender, who played in all USA's matches at the World Cup. Joseph Yobo is on loan at Fenerbache and David Moyes is eager to strengthen his defensive options but he will have to act quickly if he wants to build on his interest, with Wolfsburg still the favourites to land DeMerit, 30.
The defender, who spent six years at Watford before being released in the summer, would be able to move outside the transfer window because he is currently without a club.
