Everton should look to sign Robin Gosens in January as player eyes Inter Milan exit
Everton must look to sign Inter Milan left-back Robin Gosens in the January transfer window, as the player is seeking an exit, as reported by Foot Mercato.
The 28-year-old defender already “wants to leave Italy”, and he has a good chance of leaving the club in January.
FCinterNews reported on 3 November that Everton have “knocked on the door” of Gosens’ agent, with the Toffees “looking for a left back”.
The Toffees could face strong competition from OGC Nice who are also looking to strengthen their left-back position in the January window.
Since joining Inter permanently, Gosens has made only one start in the Serie A, with a further 11 appearances have come from the bench.
He has played in all six games in the Champions League and has a goal to his name as well. The defender is known for his strong tackling and excellent passing ability. He has got loads of experience, and the Toffees must look to exploit his current situation.
He signed a four-and-a-half-year contract last January, but he is already eyeing an exit.
The Toffees need to bolster their forward department this January, but the left-back area needs attention as well.
Everton signed Ruben Vinagre in the summer on loan from Sporting Lisbon, but he has hardly featured for the club.
The 23-year-old is yet to start in the Premier League, and managed only 24 minutes of action so far. Clearly, he has failed to impress Frank Lampard.
It is highly unlikely that the Toffees will make his move permanent. Put simply, a new signing is required.
Gosens would provide strong competition to Vitaly Mykolenko at the club. The German international was superb during the 3-3 draw against Barcelona this season, and there’s no reason why he can’t be lured to Goodison Park.
