Everton want to sign Stade Rennais midfielder Bourigeaud
Everton are interested in making a move for Stade Rennais midfielder Benjamin Bourigeaud in the summer, according to Tutto Mercato.
The Toffees are in the market to sign a midfielder in the ongoing transfer window and have been linked with a number of players.
One of those players is Wolves’ Morgan Gibbs-White but Sky Sports reported that their offer was rejected by the club.
As per the latest report, the Toffees are on the front row for a move but are facing big competition from Leicester City and Fiorentina.
Team Player
Everton are going into the next season off the back of a difficult campaign as they narrowly managed to escape relegation, courtesy of a win on matchday 37.
It is for this reason that the Toffees’ top-tier management is keen to bring in bodies who can strengthen the overall squad depth.
Bourigeaud might well prove to be a player who can prove to be much more than that, largely because of his experience of playing in top-flight football.
The French U20 international has been around for a while and has already played more than 190 matches in Ligue 1 [Transfermarkt].
He can bring the much-needed calmness in the middle of the park which would be an excellent addition to the squad and also, he will be available for cheap considering that he is in the final year of his contract.
Bourigeaud has been a Rennais player since the summer of 2017 when he moved from Lens in a deal worth £3.15 million.
