Everton want to sign Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski
Everton are reportedly keen on signing Juventus attacker Dejan Kulusevski in the January transfer window.
According to Italian media outlet Tutto Mercato Web, the Old Lady are keen on signing Dusan Vlahovic.
However, to finance his transfer, they need to raise funds, and Kulusevski, who is 21, could be the player they decide to sell, amid links to the Toffees.
Worth pursuing
The Toffees are understood to be looking for wide attackers or midfielders this month and Kulusevski, a Sweden international, certainly fits the bill.
Not only can he play as wide right or wide left attacker, but he’s also industrious when deployed in the middle of the park.
Given Juventus’ financial predicament, Everton could act smart and make this deal go through on their terms.
Due to their FFP concerns, they do not have the funds to overspend on players, especially given how they’ve already made two signings in January.
Nathan Patterson and Vitaliy Mykolenko have addressed the problems Rafa Benitez had at right-back and left-back respectively, and the Swedish player could address a big issue in the final third.
He would come to Goodison Park highly recommended, with his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo waxing his lyrical.
In 2020, he said of the 21-year-old, via Juve FC, “I really like to see him, he has great potential, and he’s an excellent player. I hope to play with him and score a lot of goals together.”
Whether or not Everton can convince him to join remains to be seen as he certainly could help take the club to the next level.
