Everton should move to sign Donny van de Beek permanently after latest update
Everton signed Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek on loan on deadline day but there is no option to buy in the deal.
The Red Devils seemed to be reluctant to give the Toffees the chance to keep him if he performed but according to ESPN, he could be on his way out of Old Trafford regardless in the summer.
They claim that the Dutchman is one of 11 players who may leave the 20-time Premier League champions in the summer as they go through a mass rebuild.
It’s music to the ears of Frank Lampard for sure as the 24-year-old has already settled in nicely at Goodison Park since his deadline day move.
He has played the full game in the previous two games for the Toffees and seems to have quickly got to work alongside Andre Gomes in the middle of the park.
If he is one of those United are keen to cull in the summer, then Everton are perfectly placed to turn the loan into a permanent move regardless of what clauses are in the current deal.
If they can get van de Beek enjoying his football again, then he might even request a move himself which would pressure whoever takes charge at Old Trafford into letting him go.
It is still early days in his Everton career and the summer window is a long way away right now but you can never be too early in trying to make moves when it comes to players who will be in demand.
Lampard will be ensuring Farhad Moshiri and Bill Kenwright know how much he likes the Dutchman and should they get the chance, they will pull the trigger to keep van de Beek at Goodison Park beyond the end of this season.
