Everton want Victor Kristiansen transfer with double deal now on the cards

Thu 8 May 2025 19:10, UK

Everton could be set to raid Leicester City after their relegation from the Premier League was confirmed recently.

Change is expected to sweep the Toffees, with 13 first-team players’ contracts set to expire this summer.

After several underwhelming transfer windows, Everton may be looking to make a few statement signings with David Moyes’ men set to play at Bramley-Moore Dock from next season.

Everton is set to bank extra immediate revenue from the new stadium, and early investment in the window could be on the cards.

Victor Kristiansen is one player who could make the move.

Everton ready Leicester defender transfer

Several big decisions lie ahead for Moyes as the Blues look to make waves in the upcoming window.

Sky Sports journalist Rob Dorsett has reported on 8 May that Everton admire Leicester left-back Kristiansen.

The Foxes were officially relegated after a defeat to top-flight leaders Liverpool at the King Power Stadium and could be forced to sell several of their stars, with PSR very tight.

Excl: #efc interested in bringing #thfc striker Richarlison back. Could be loan with an obligation to buy as cover for his recent injury problems. Host of big decisions for Moyes, with futures of Beto and Calvert-Lewin to be decided. Everton also like #lcfc LB Victor Kristiansen

Kristiansen could be an upgrade for Everton

The Blues’ current left-back, Vitalii Mykolenko’s contract runs out in 2026, and with a revolution under Moyes on the cards, Kristiansen may be a worthwhile investment.

Despite Mykolenko impressing this campaign, he is Moyes’s only natural left-back option, and Kristiansen could provide some much-needed depth.

2024/25 Season	Interceptions per 90	Tackles per 90	Blocks per 90
Vitalii Mykolenko	1.18	1.76	0.77
Victor Kristiansen	1.41	3.16	1.34

At first glance, the 22-year-old may be an upgrade on Everton’s starting left-back.

While Mykolenko leads Kristiansen in clearances (95th percentile) and aerial duels won (89th percentile), he is 14th for blocks, 77th for interceptions and 36th for tackles.

Meanwhile, the Leicester star is in the 94th percentile for tackles, 88th for interceptions and 75th for blocks.

Kristiansen appears to be a shining light in Leicester’s dark Premier League campaign, brimming with youth and unearthed talent.

This could start a new era for Everton.
