Millwall could open the door for Everton to sign Tristan Crama as the hunt for a new right-back continues.

The Toffees are in the hunt for new defensive options as links continue to flourish before the summer window has even opened.

There have been various options across the backline mooted with a move to Merseyside, but it seems that full-back is a priority.

West Ham’s relegation has prompted calls for Aaron Wan-Bissaka to link up with David Moyes despite the two not having crossed paths at the London Stadium.

A move for the DR Congo international could now be bypassed as Everton have been urged to move for Millwall’s Crama.

Everton could sign Tristan Crama for just £15m from Millwall

There are likely to be plenty of targets on the table at Hill Dickinson Stadium after a disappointing collapse to end the season.

The right-back role is in need of change as Jake O’Brien has been forced to play there for nearly two years, despite being a natural centre-half.

That could turn attention to Millwall, especially after they missed out on promotion via the play-offs following their semi-final loss to Hull City.

Former Lions goalkeeper and Toffees scout Bryan King believes Crama could be the go-to man for Moyes’ side, even after links to Wan-Bissaka at West Ham.

Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, King said: “I’d go for Crama rather than Wan-Bissaka.

“He can play as a right-back and as a centre-half. He was in the Championship Team of the Year and had an excellent season.

“He’s a player who is in the £15-20m range, which is a sensible figure for a good player.

“I’ve seen him play many times, and he can defend or push forward down that right side.

“A club like Millwall, they have to consider an offer if the money is right.”

Crama has been mooted as an Everton target previously and could prove to be the ideal signing ready for the new Premier League campaign.

Would Crama be better than Wan-Bissaka?

There are arguments for both players that could make them ideal for the Toffees.

Crama is coming off the back of a stellar campaign in the Championship, where he played in every single league match for the Lions.

He picked up nine goal involvements in that time while also keeping 18 clean sheets and chipping in with 444 defensive actions.

By comparison, Wan-Bissaka featured in just three shutouts with 174 defensive involvements, while contributing just two assists.

That certainly speaks volumes when comparing the pair, though a pinch of salt is warranted given the difference in leagues and positions within those divisions.

It feels as if Crama would still be the better signing even if he were a risk, largely due to his work rate in both directions throughout the campaign at Millwall.
