Everton given even more reason to sign player Victor Osimhen lauds as ‘exceptional’
Everton will definitely be wise to listen to Galatasaray and Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen in the winter transfer window.
David Moyes hopes to get a few transfers through the door at the Hill Dickinson Stadium during January as the Toffees look to add more depth to their team.
There have been talks of a few players leaving the Blues in recent weeks, with Adam Aznou being linked with Getafe.
The Scottish manager deserves to be backed with reinforcements, and the Merseyside outfit could follow suit soon.
Victor Osimhen to encourage Everton in Ryan Alebiosu
Everton have emerged as one of the contenders to sign Ryan Alebiosu from Blackburn Rovers.
The Toffees are keeping track of the former Arsenal defender at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and he’s currently with Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations.
Osimhen has been impressed with the 24-year-old at the Super Eagles, and the former Napoli striker has been impressed with his compatriot in training.
Speaking via ESPN on 1 January, the Galatasaray star said, “He has been doing amazingly well even before he came to the Super Eagles. When he came to us, with his training, he’s an exceptional player.”
Alebiosu would definitely be a worthy target for the Merseyside outfit, considering their lack of options at right-back.
Jake O’Brien has consistently played out of position, while Seamus Coleman and Nathan Patterson’s fitness issues make them unreliable.
David Moyes to green-light new transfer exit after Ryan Alebiosu update
Patterson may not have a future at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, with the Toffees prepared to let him go in the coming weeks.
The Scotland international has been a bit-part player at Everton since his long injury lay-off, and it would be best for both parties if he left.
With the 24-year-old’s exit, the Blues could potentially open doors for Alebiosu’s arrival at the Merseyside outfit.
While Patterson did a decent job against Nottingham Forest in the 2-0 victory, he may soon be surplus to requirements again.
