Everton lose Luis Sinisterra battle with Leeds United set to complete move
Everton were reportedly in the race to sign Feyenoord winger Luis Sinisterra but Leeds United have moved quickly and could complete his signing this week.
According to Ryan Taylor of the Daily Express, the Whites will clinch a deal for the 23-year-old for £22million including potential add-ons.
Barring these two clubs, Sevilla and Nice were also keen on signing the player, but the final battle has been won by the West Yorkshire club.
Disappointing
If Leeds can sign him ahead of a club in the Champions League, then surely the Toffees could have put up a better fight to secure his services.
They are also looking for a wide attacker this summer and the Colombian would’ve perfectly fit the bill for them.
They will now have to go back to the drawing board and look at options to add to the strength of an under-performing playing eleven,
Kevin Thelwell has not acted quickly this window and it could cost Frank Lampard dearly as he will not have time to work with his new signings in pre season.
Hopefully, in the next few weeks, the signings come in quickly or Everton could be set for another relegation scrap in the 2022/23 season with financial issues looming large.
It’s shameful that they do not have alternative targets lined up and they look to be repeating the same mistakes that they committed under Marcelo Brands’ stewardship.
