Thomas Muller to wait until summer to move amid Everton speculation
Bayern Munich and Germany star Thomas Muller is set to remain at the Bundesliga champions until the summer despite Everton being linked with a move.
The 32-year-old has been the subject of interest from Newcastle as well as the Toffees but according to BILD, he will stay at the Allianz Arena for the remainder of this season.
Everton are in the market for an attacking midfielder but it looks like Muller won’t be the one this month.
“But one thing is also certain: Müller will definitely not change clubs in winter. In the summer, however, a change could be imminent,” Christian Falk wrote in BILD.
Must be patient
Sure, Everton want an attacking midfielder now but if Muller is a viable option in the summer, then they need to wait for that moment.
He’s a World Cup winner, has every trophy under his belt in Germany, many times over and that is exactly who Everton need to bring into the club to change the mentality of the players.
He may be nearly 33 years of age by the time next season rolls around but his game is one that doesn’t get affected by physical decline.
Muller likes to drift into open areas and get on the ball to create for his teammates and his assist number are sky high at Bayern Munich over recent seasons.
Yes, it does help to have Robert Lewandowski on the receiving end of your passes but Everton have their own clinical striker to benefit.
Imagine the kind of service Dominic Calvert-Lewin would receive if Muller was floating around in behind him and let’s not forget that the German is a potent finisher himself.
It is a blow to not have him this season but he will be worth the wait.
